homes but his most prized build, of course, being the forever Trout home for his lovely

wife and beautiful puppies on their little nest overlooking the pond and the beautiful land

Helicopter. His life work also contained an extreme passion and skill for painting. Creating

breathtaking scenic and beautiful pieces of art that have been shared and enjoyed by

family, friends and art lovers. He was a passionate and professional musician whose love

and talent allowed him to travel across the pond from England and across Europe, and on

US military bases. His Accomplishments included touring with his band Johnathon Kane &

the Freemans and even helping to create and produce his prized country album with

Geneva Malone titled She's in Town. Ken's passion, and life's work will always be

remembered and enjoyed not just for the skill and beautiful projects he brought to this

world, but for the fun and excitement he experienced and shared with others during in all

his journeys never forgetting to share his passion, knowledge and spoils with all family and

friends.

Ken was a man full of life and wonderment whose spirit and personality was one of a kind.

He believed in living life to the fullest, and never spared the expense of free time or

enjoying himself with his family. He was never Afraid to share his hobbies and passions

with family friends or anyone around. There was never a story told or shared involving Ken

that didn't contain a great memory or a good laugh. He was a lover of nature and enjoyed

fishing, gardening with his wife and family, and enjoying sunsets on the lake in his boat,

"The TroutAbout". His fondest memories were always those on family trips with his

daughters, grandchildren and wife. He even taught his grandson how to ski in a blizzard.

He absolutely lived life the way it was meant to be. He was a gentle and caring man, who

loved his puppies just as much as any human could love another and never forgot no

matter rain or shine that his puppies needed a treat and a good belly rub as he had his

evening beer. He was a karate second degree black belt and instructor, and absolutely

loved the spirit of competition, As, we all know, he was a lover and lifelong supporter of his

prized Knotts County football club and of course the Dallas Cowboys.

Ken was a talented and driven man who built his legacy and family the old-fashioned way.

He believed in hard work, passion and supporting all along the way. He was a man with a

wonderful personality who could lighten the room with his sense of humor, a genuine care

for others and family, who had a deep dedicated love for all, and would constantly brag

about his grandchildren's accomplishments and talents, and support their dreams and

desires, and of course, a proud father of his children whose favorite memories always

included a story with a dance party, games and a silly hat, or traveling with his family,

enjoying the world. He believed in sharing knowledge to others, teaching with pride and

supporting all in their own goals and ambitions. He loved to make you laugh, and he loved

to hear good news, and he was never short to make you feel a grand warmth. He chased

his dreams, supported his family, and he lived like a rock star and no one could do it better

than the man himself.
