On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, this world saw the passing of one of the most kind, generous, and good-natured people anyone could imagine: Ken Langham, 78.
After battling numerous health conditions and ailments for years, he went peacefully as he so genuinely deserved. Survived by his cousin Mary, his family (friends, co-workers, brothers in arms, longtime acquaintances, and pretty much anyone who knew him.)
A respected veteran of the Armed Forces, a devoted animal lover, and just an all-around pleasant soul, his passing will never be replaced.
Those who were blessed enough to know him, would no doubt have nothing but the fondest memories of him, and the wonderful presence he exuded.
Per his last wishes, there will not be any services. Ken would've wanted those he cared so dearly for, to celebrate positive memories, cheerful stories, and smiles on those faces reminiscing his life. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
In Loving Memory, and Eternal Peace Ken!!!
