Kenneth was a member of the Farmersville Lodge, Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted

Kenneth is survived by his loving children, David (Deborah) Ruxer, Deborah (Tim) Staker, Duane (Arceli) Ruxer, Donald (Cindy) Ruxer, Darlene (Aaron) Carter; many, many… grandchildren, great-grandchildren and nieces, nephews and many friends. In addition to his parents, Kenneth is preceded in death by his beloved wife Patricia; grandson, Bradley; son, Daryl; grandson, Jesse; brothers, Robert, Joseph, and Larry; sisters, Nancy, Erlene and Donna. Kenneth was a kindhearted man that loved his family and friends, always had a smile on his face and never met a stranger. He will be missed by many and never forgotten.

Kenny was a very special friend. We spent many hours on numerous trips to the lake. We both loved to fish and he taught me a lot. I will always love Kenny and never forget him.
