Ken was born September 1, 1946 in Moultrie, GA, a place that was forever very dear to his heart. He is the son of the late Irwin "Freidy" and Peggy.
Other than his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters, Judy and Jill.
He is survived by his sister, Cindy, his daughter, Leah and son, Paul. He had three beautiful grandchildren, Olivia, Abby, and Reese. He also was an uncle to Kerri, Zack, and Casey, who all adored him.
Ken came to Columbus from Moultrie, GA and attended Columbus High School. He then went on to the University of Georgia and after graduating, came back to Columbus. Ken then served in the National Guard. His next venture was to open the chic men and women's boutique known as "Ken & Co." where he was a great success for many years.
Ken was such a charmer to all who knew him and was well known in this community for his good deeds. After many years in the retail business, he decided to try his hand at selling real estate. Naturally, he was a success and shined as a million dollar member, selling many high end houses in the area. Ken was a wonderful father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He will always be remembered by his quick wit, fabulous personality and devotion to those he loved. He had a giving heart and could never say "no" to anyone.
His passions were family and he loved to dance and he had a deep love for animals.
