Kenneth Rubino Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 26, 2024.

Kenneth Anthony Rubino

1974-2024

Known endearingly as Kenny, Ken or cousin Ken was born September 10th 1974 in Renton, WA and passed away, far too young, September 12th, 2024 in Auburn, WA.

Ken is survived by his daughter McKenna Rubino, mother Kathleen Morgan, sister Antoinette (Brian) Kirk, brother Tony Rubino, sister Elisha Hansen, step-brother, Jeffrey Morgan (Hilarie), nephew Kaleb Swain and niece Emma Hansen, along with his close Italian family and many friends.

He is preceded in death by his dad, Tony Rubino Jr., stepdad, Richard Morgan, his grandparent's; Bama (Mary), Dadz (Tony), Grandma (Leah) and Papa (Ken)

Ken was a brilliant man, with much natural talent at everything he attempted. He mastered many things throughout his life but his true passions were water skiing, snow boarding, building and remodeling homes, and fixing all things mechanical and electric. "Kenny can fix it" was a common statement in his family.

He loved all things outdoors from camping, riding his quad over sand dunes and fishing, to driving his truck on the beach with his beloved dog Luke. He was amazing at training animals and proud of Lukedogg's attention to his commands.

Ken loved giving his time, energy and talent to his friends and family whenever needed. He enjoyed the challenge of figuring things out and was always happy teaching others how to do things to help themselves. He was blessed with that natural gift.

His generous soul and his witty and calm sense of humor will be missed by all of those who knew and loved him.

What we learned is; If there was a problem, Kenny and his DeWalt would solve it.

We love you Kenny, we miss you and we will see you again. "Don't cry, be happy, enjoy the outdoors and live free". (What you would say to us).

Kenny was there for me during a really hard time. He cheered me up when I had lost my way. He was always joyful and looking for fun. The man could fix anything at a time when I couldn´t. I respected him. He has a true friend whom I never had a doubt about. I wish I had done the same for him. I have no doubt that he was in our lives to make us better. And we are for having him with us. God bless you and your family my brother. RIP.

My favorite memory of Kenny happened at the Rubino family reunion in Seaside, Or. A couple nights we were out on the beach with a campfire late at night. We cruised the alleys of Seaside and found some old used pallets for firewood. His idea instead of buy firewood.
We heard some rustling in a bush behind us and thought it was his cousin Johnny trying to scare us. So, we planned a sneak attack to get him. Funny thing is, it wasn't Johnny. But, an older homeless guy that wanted to recycle out empty cans he thought we leave.
We befriended the guy and invited him to join us and share our beverages and snacks. The guy was Veteran and shared his war stories with us. We stayed up late into the morning. Then invited the guy to come back later that next night.
We had two fun evenings by the fire sharing stories and making jokes.

I remember Kenny being an ambitious at a young age. He's couple years younger than I, but when got to meet him as a teenager I was impressed with his mechanical aptitude.
He had an evening job at an apartment complex getting them ready for new residents. I come visit him and watch him work his magic. Working on electrical fixtures, paint sprayers, and small engines, Ken really could fix anything.
Ken is an endearing soul. Give you the shirt off his back type of guy. He was intelligent, super funny, generous, loyal and adventurous. A real mans man.
