Ken served a successful mission in the Kentucky/Tennessee Mission. He loved working with his hands and worked with his dad as a carpenter. He built the home he and Jill lived in. He attended Utah Valley University (UVU) graduating, with honors, receiving a certificate in Woodworking. From the time he was a little boy he loved helping people, anybody and everyone. His mom said he would make friends with every kid, cat and dog that run across the lawn. If he had a nickel he would give it away. It was said of him “He must have wore two shirts because he was always ready and willing to give you the shirt off his back.” His mother thinks he is now in Heaven arguing with his Dad about the same thing, then agreeing on the same thing. That is the cause of the latest aftershock. He is survived by his wife Jill, his mother Bernice, West Valley City, UT and two brothers; Burke (Karen) Twin Falls, ID, and John (Cozette), Tremonton, UT. He was preceded in death by his Dad, Lee Newman. Graveside services will be held Friday, April 10, 2020 at the Gunnison City Cemetery, Gunnison, UT.
