He graduated from Highland High School in 1977. While in high school, Ken began his career at Troyer's Trail Bologna, Inc. located in Trail/Dundee, Ohio. His entire career was devoted to the family business which started in 1912 by his great-great-grandfather, Michael Troyer. Ken was very proud to have been the fourth generation and to serve as president of the company for over forty years. Ken was an avid, as well as an excellent golfer. His time spent on the golf course with his "golf buddies" and many friends brought him great joy. His golf memberships include Glenmoor Country Club, Brookside Country Club, Wyndemere Country Club, Naples, Fla., and was a former member of Union Country Club of Dover, Ohio. He was a professional bowler in his younger years and bowled many "300" games. He will be remembered by his friends and co-workers as "a man with a big heart".

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by grandparents, Lloyd and Minerva Troyer and Robert and Elizabeth Bachman.
