Kenneth L. "Ken" Ellertson

Mark and family, My sincerest sympathies!!! Your dad was such a kind and respectful man. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone or anything. He was a true Christian! Loved that guy!

Dear Gretchen and family, My sincerest condolences to all of you. My memories of your father are of a very sweet, smiling, nice man. It meant the world to me that he came and led the Celebration of Life for my mom in 2012. He will be greatly missed.

On Behalf of the Kelly family we send our love to the entire Ellertson family. I first met Ken on June 29, 1976, when my great-grandfather passed away. Grandpa Chester was the last person Ken removed from an outhouse and Ken reminded me of that story often. Since then, I have so appreciated each time I saw Ken at various places and events. In the 1990's I would fill in for the Saturday night Service at Trinity and Ken and Donna would be there with their encouragement and love. I visited them...

Ken was practically a member of our family. My dad gave him a job when he was just a teenager. He worked hard and became a valuable partner at Vancouver Funeral Chapel, and when my dad died, he took over the business. Our families have stayed close all these years. I have many fond memories of Ken, Opal, Donna, Marjorie and all the kids. I last saw Ken and Marjorie when they were in Honolulu a few years ago. We laughed till our sides ached. He was a great friend! Aloha oe, Ken. Until we meet...

My sincere condolences to Ken's family. Thank you, Ken, for caring for so many family members and our Clark County for many years. Rest in peace.

I am so Sorry for your loss.

Ken was kind, considerate and Christian which allowed him to help so many in their time of grief and mourning. He was a great asset and citizen of Vancouver for his entire life. Thank you Ken for helping our family during our times of grief.
