Kenneth Laga Jr Obituary
Ken attended Reavis High School, where he began to develop his lifelong interests. Known for his humor, intelligence, and kindhearted nature, Ken was not only a loving father and husband but also a patriotic American and an avid animal lover. He shared a special bond with his son, Asher, over video games, Lego, off roading and funny videos, creating cherished memories. Ken's love for his family was immense, and he enjoyed spending quality time with them and his close friends.
Ken had a passion for the weather especially storms and watching lightening. He loved movies and was a dedicated NASCAR fan. His musical tastes were defined by his love for metal bands, particularly Metallica and Iron Maiden. Later in life, Ken found solace and strength in his faith.
Ken leaves behind his beloved wife, Gina, and their precious son, Asher. He is also survived by his sister Jennifer, brother Joe, mother Marcia (Les), father Ken Sr., and several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who will miss him deeply.
A memorial service to celebrate Ken's life will be held on July 13, 2024, from 12pm to 3pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at 1150 W Combs Rd, Queen Creek, AZ 85140. A memorial in Illinois is TBD.
Ken's life was a testament to the virtues of love, family, and faith, and he will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege to know him.

Babe, the days keep rushing by and my heart only longs for you even more. This new life without you is quiet, I don't know how else to explain it....the world is moving, life is busy and yet its soo quiet without you. I'd give anything to drown out the quiet. I love you then, now and always

Rest in peace big cousin Kenny, you were the oldest of us and always one step ahead of us in life, leading the way for us. You have taught me some life lessons I´ll never forget. You were sensitive and kind and always funny. I enjoyed our time together growing up and am incredibly sad that you left this life so soon. I hope your soul has found peace.

Uncle kenny was my blood uncle but my uncle out of love
I was so lucky to be loved by him ! And to have him live with me for a little while. I will always hold our memories like watching wednesday together and him buying me a kurieg and a silverware set. He told me you can´t have a house without a god damn coffee maker which i still have !
I love you uncle kenny and will miss you more than you know !
And I will cherish all our memories and photos !
I hope you´re hanging out with my daddy up there causing some chaos and racing cars and off roading too !
Watch over me please !
See you on the other side
xoxo

Dada Ken, I miss you every day. I miss when we went on adventures. I loved when we ate together and when you sat me on the kitchen table to help me get dressed. I am feeling sad about you. I miss you very much. I love you, Dada Ken. I hope you are with Oreo and you are having fun with God.

Ken was my other 'son'. He and my son, Bill were best friends when they were kids and up until the tie he moved to Arizona. He called me Ma and he was always family to me. Gina is also my extended family. Ken will be missed by my entire family. My condolences to Marcia, Gina, Asher and the rest of his family. Fly high, Ken. I'll join you soon enough. <3

I am so very sorry for your family's loss . I didn't know him personally , I know his Mom and Les . As a Mother I have lost a son. I know the pain Marcia is feeling . We are not supposed to bury a child . My heart breaks for his family and friends .

Babe, I fell in love with you the first time we kissed (11-0-8) and I've loved you every day since. No matter what the world threw at us it was always you and me against the world. I never left your side, I kept my word and I miss you every moment of every day.
Thank you for the feathers, pennies, letter found, songs on the radio, the dream, the messages to our little boy and all the other ways you have tried to tell me you are not physically here but you are spiritually always near.
I dream of you, Cinder, Oreo and all those that went ahead of me meeting me at the gates of Heaven. Someday I will run into your waiting arms. feel the comfort, warmth and safety of you holding onto me.
I pray you are with God, Gram Laga, Cinder, Oreo and have met Dale. I pray you have clarity, healing and peace. I pray you see how hard we are trying to figure out how to continue to move forward without you...I've never done life without you so send some strength if you can. I love you then, now and always.

Kenny was always making everyone laugh with his jokes and funny faces. He was always the one to bring the family together for games or karaoke. You will missed Kenny

The first time we kissed will always be one of my favorite memories, that was the day I fell in love with you. The life we lived was far from perfect but it was ours. We shared so many amazing adventures and special moments from the first kiss to our wedding to adopting our sweet boy. I loved you then, I love you now and will love you always.
