Ken will be remembered above all for his profound love for the Lord and his unwavering devotion to his family. He shared a beautiful, 40-year marriage with his beloved wife, Sandra, whom he adored deeply and always called his "Precious Pumkin."
A vibrant and outgoing soul, Ken never met a stranger. He was always eager to strike up a friendly conversation with anyone he crossed paths with—whether they were ready for a chat or not.
Ken was a faithful member of the House of Praise Church of God in Corsicana, Texas, under the leadership of Pastor Timothy Schane.
He is survived by his daughters, Lisa Cantu and her husband, Robert, and Chrystal Augustyniak and her husband, Joseph. He was the proud grandfather of Christopher (wife, Katia), Elizabeth, Nathanael (wife, Audrey), Paige, Shaine, and Troy; and the cherished great-grandfather of Brooklynn, Emma Grace, Jaxon, Benjamin, Finnagin, Hunter, Aceson, Iyla, and Liliana.
Ken was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Ada; his daughter, Carrie; and his grandson, Ryan. A viewing will be held at 10:00 a.m., followed by a Memorial Service at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at Tyler Memorial Funeral Home in Tyler, Texas, with Pastor Timothy Schane officiating. His family is deeply grateful for the overwhelming kindness and support shown to them during this difficult time.
They wish to extend a special thank you to the staff at The Meadows of Corsicana and Bristol Hospice for their exceptional patience, understanding, and kindness.
