Ken Hawk Obituary
Ken received his bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Oregon and continued his education, graduating from The Oregon Health & Science University's Dental program in Portland. He then served as a captain in the United States Air Force, stationed in Japan from 1972 to 1975. He returned to Oregon later that year and established a private dental practice in Eugene, where he cared for patients for 42 years before retiring in 2017.
A lifelong sports enthusiast, Ken was an avid fan of Oregon Duck football, basketball, and softball. He also loved MLB (Yankees/ Mariners.) As a golfer & member of The Eugene Country Club for 46 years, he also enjoyed watching both men's and women's professional/ amateur golf tournaments.
Like his father, he had a green thumb & enjoyed gardening, especially tending to his roses and rhododendrons, and was a proud member of the Rotary Club of Eugene.
Ken is survived by his wife, Jennifer; daughters Raegan Mann (DJ), Quincy Waidelich (Trey), and Teryl Hawk; brothers Bill Hawk (Kimra) and Ron Hawk; and five grandchildren: Cannon, Colt, and Trace Mann, and Henry and Finlay Waidelich. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ray and Phyllis Hawk.
A private family gathering to honor his life will be held in the spring.
