He was the loving grandfather of Avery, Keegan, Cameron, Cole, Alexander, and Pierson. Dear brother of the late Edith Metcalf, the late Bill Hicks, and Don Hicks.

Brother-in-law of George Valentine, Ron and Bill Stezik and Marlene Bahry. Ken will be sadly missed by his many nieces and nephews and their families.

Ken was a very talented waterfowl carver, and his skills will be admired forever in the works of art he created.

The family would like to express their thank you and gratitude for the care Ken received from the oncology and palliative care doctors at Lakeridge Health Oshawa.
