Ken was loved by many and he loved them. He would do anything for his family, friends, community, and church. Ken was a family man and always put family first. His family never doubted his love for each and every one of them as he made sure he showed it. He looked forward to all the family gatherings throughout the years and especially looked forward to the West Family Reunion held every year in September. Ken was a quiet man and made sure he always treated everyone with kindness and respect. He loved playing and watching sports, taking naps in his recliner, and putting together puzzles. He spent the majority of his career in the grocery business working various roles and retired in 2007. He was an avid antique collector and eventually operated an antique store in downtown Wolfe City for many years.

So sorry for your loss call if y’all need anything.
This is such sad news. Ken loved his church and his church family.
He will be missed very much.
Love and prayers for the family.
Ken was one of the kindest men I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. He gave so much love to my children when they were young. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Ken and Susie!
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. May God‘s love give you comfort.
