Ken Wilson, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, passed away on March 23, 2025 at the age of 85. Born in Healdton, OK, Ken lived a full and meaningful life defined by hard work, quiet strength, and a deep appreciation for life's simple joys—his wife Bev, family, friends, and the open road on his motorcycle.
A skilled printing press operator, Ken dedicated many years to his craft before retiring from the State of Nevada. Though a man of few words, when he spoke his words carried weight. He had a quiet and reserved nature, but behind his silence was a depth of wisdom, humor, and kindness. He was a steady, reliable force, expressing his love not through grand gestures but through the countless small ways he cared for those around him.
Ken found freedom on the open road taking every opportunity to ride his motorcycle with his wife Bev. He was a true tinkerer, happy in his garage with a wrench in hand, fixing, building, and solving problems in his own quiet, determined way. His love for animals was unwavering, and he had a special way with pets, who seemed to know instinctively that they were safe with him--you could catch him taking a ride down the road with his best buddy Spencer on the daily.
Ken is survived by his wife of 63 years, Bev, children Niki, and Kristin, 6 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren, who will forever hold his memory close. He was preceded in death by his parents Gwendola and Oscar Wilson, and son, Mark.

A celebration of Ken's life will be held on Sunday March 30th at Community Baptist Church, Winston OR, at 2pm.

Though he may be gone from our sight, he will never be gone from our hearts.
