He was Senior Class president of Pleasant Grove High School class of 1943. Ken had a great passion for flying; he took flying lessons at the early age of 15 and was a P-51 fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps. He later retired as a Major in the Air Force Reserves.

He met and fell in love with Estella DeLone Williams. They were married on September 14, 1974; later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple.
