Our loving husband, father, grandfather (Papa), great-grandfather, son, brother, uncle and friend, Ken Bennett, 70, passed away on December 5, 2024.

Born on September 14, 1954, in Arco, Idaho, to James and Ruby Bennett. He attended Kearn High School and went on to work as a Bartender, Diesel Mechanic, and Parts Driver. In 1990 he met Joann where they married and spent 34 years together.

He enjoyed being in the outdoors doing lots of camping, fishing and cooking. Kens greatest joy was spending time with his family. His friends and family will remember him as the man who always gave great advice and was dependable in so many ways. He was mechanically skilled, a fantastic cook, a loving and positive person and always kind in his interactions.

He is survived by his wife Joann, children Tye (Jenice), Kresdon (Melanie), Shaydee (Leroy), David (Ali), Sunshine, grandchildren Easton, Alex, Jack, Maddie, Asher, Laklee, Bailey, Lexus, Landon, Peyton, Chance, Harley, Sadie, Bradie, DJ, Joey, Steven, Alyssa, Destinee, and great-grandchildren (8).

At a time in the near future, the family will schedule a Celebration of Life for Ken, to come at a later date, once those details are finalized the family will release information through various social media channels and word of mouth.
