Kenneth was an honors graduate from Watertown High School and a talented artist. He could pick up a pencil or a crayon or chalk and draw a phenomenal sketch. He was also a very good self-taught musician. He would hear a tune, and work and work on his guitar to master it. His father wasn't happy when his son called about joining the Army, but he understood the young man wanted to serve the country. He then advised his son to make a career of it. He could retire after 20 years with great benefits and the training for a good second career. After seven riflemen fired a salute three times, and the playing of "Taps," the flag was folded into the traditional triangle to present to Ziegler's mother, Vicki Ziegler. Phelan presented another flag and medals, a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, to Ziegler's father, Kenneth E. Zeigler of Halifax. Ziegler was supposed to be on leave but gave his seat to another soldier whose wife was due to give birth. He is survived by his mother, Vicki L. Zeigler; his father, Kenneth E. Zeigler, 2 sisters, Kimberly A. Zeigler and Katie A. Zeigler; his paternal grandmother, Margie E. Zeigler, his maternal grandparents, Nancy L. McMaster and William E. Winfindale; maternal grandfather, Roy K. Master; paternal great-grandmother, Viola Zeigler. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Rolland G. Zeigler, Jr.; paternal great-grandfather, Rolland G. Zeigler, Sr.; paternal great-grandparents, James and Mary Dell; his maternal great-grandparents, Albert P. and Beulah M. Emminger and his cousin, Crystal M. Zeigler. He was 22.
