Many words can be used to describe Ken. Son, Father, Brother, Grandfather,

Patriot, Sports Fan, Singer, Boxer, Wrestler, accomplished baseball player, music

lover, Fighter, cancer survivor and relentless jokester are just a few. First and

foremost, he loved his family. He was very proud of his German heritage and liked

to cook German food and share with his friends and family. Under a sometimes-

gruff exterior was a man with a soft heart and a loving spirit. He sang to his family

and friends. Most of his family have lots of voicemail recordings on their phones.

He loved his football and baseball teams – The Texans and The Astros were his

favorites! Watching his grandchildren’s extracurricular activities was also

something he absolutely loved to do. He will definitely be missed by all.

A Celebration of Ken’s life will be held at Deer Park Funeral Home on Wednesday,
