Kenneth Ewers Obituary
It is with great sadness that we share with you the passing of Ken Ewers on Friday, January 21, 2022 after coping with inclusion body myositis for several years and more recently a severe stroke.
Ken was born in Grand Forks, grew up in Penticton and Okanagan Falls. He graduated from Oliver High School and later entered into an electrical apprenticeship. Ken was a proud member of IBEW Local 993 and worked on various construction jobs in BC, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario, retiring from the trade at age 69.
Happy and cherished times were when Ken and his family returned to his parents home in Okanagan Falls to celebrate special events and holidays with family and friends.
Ken was a "car guy" buying the latest auto magazines and travelling to many different car shows and races. Over the years Ken enjoyed golfing, water skiing and boating, downhill skiing and when his health declined he watched curling and baseball on TV, cheering for the Blue Jays. Among his favourite vacation places were Hawaii, Southern California visiting his sister and cruising through the Panama Canal.
Predeceased by his parents Ken Sr. and Alice Ewers, brothers-in-law Ken Belcher, Rick Ringer, nephew Brian Belcher, uncle George Hingley. Left to cherish his memory, his wife of 46 years, Darcy, sons Steve, Dave (Michelle), daughter Diane Amado, granddaughters Jacquelle, Coral, Katlyn, Elle and great-granddaughter Makenna, sister Lynn Belcher, sister-in-law Doris Ringer, brother-in-law Bert Ringer, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Ponderosa Lodge for their kindness and care of Ken.
Ken requested no funeral.
