Kenneth Eugene "Ken" Erbes

Rest in peace,

Jenny, we thought very highly of Ken. He was a great co-worker and friend. We'll be thinking and praying for your family.

It has been a pleasure to have been your neighbor and friend for so many years. Go with God and rest in peace in his good grace.

In an age of toxic masculinity masquerading as "manliness", Ken showed us all by his life what a man should be: a man of peace, a man for others.

So many memories.
Rest in peace my friend.

It was always such a pleasure to see Ken each Friday as we volunteered at the Food Bank. What a dedicated volunteer and good, good person! Broncos were a big part of my conversation with Ken.
Dear fellow volunteer, I will miss you deeply.

Sounds like a great guy , we need more like him in this world, thanks to all the volunteers at food bank for all the behind the scenes work you do, May he rest in peace

My Dear Friend - I feel like my heart has been ripped out since I heard the news but that shows how much you impacted my life. You truly became such a dear friend over the past 5 years talking to me through grief, health issues, celebrating life, how much you adore your wife, how much you adore your children and fur babies. Let alone I was able to witness the beautiful work you consistently did for others that inspired me. I miss you SO much...I don't have enough words for it. But I can not miss being grateful that I had someone like you in my life and for what a wonderful, dear friend you were to me. You truly became one of my favorite people on this earth.

Jenny and Family - please let us know how ever we can be there for you. Praying and thinking of you every day - may God wrap you up in His love and comfort.

It´s hard to find the words to say goodbye, so instead, I´ll start with thank you.

Thank you for the light you brought into this world-and into the Food Bank. Your service here was far more than just hours and tasks; it was the spirit you carried, the way you showed up, and the warmth you shared so freely. Your presence made the day better for all of us, and talking with you was something I always looked forward to.

I´ll miss hearing about your wood projects, the LEGO sets you proudly built, your music recommendations, and the way your face lit up when you talked about your family. You had a way of making people feel seen and heard. You were a listener, a thinker, a creator-and most of all, a kind soul.

We already feel the space you've left behind, but I know you're still watching over the people and places you loved so much.

Until we meet again, Ken. You made a difference, and we´ll carry that forward.

Ken doing some of his beautiful work at the Food Bank for Larimer County

It was a very sad day at the Food Bank last Friday when we learned of Ken´s death. I so enjoyed seeing him during my Friday volunteer stint, and so admired him for his four day a week volunteering. While he was mellow, and maybe because of it, he supported the rest of through whatever challenges we faced.

My prayers go out to Jenny and the family, including the pups who meant much to him.

Jenny:
So sad to hear of Ken's passing, was honored to have known him for about 50 years! We worked together on many projects and had a lot of fun in the process, I know you worked hard trying to keep us in line! If you were to look up the definition of a true friend in the dictionary you'd find a picture of Ken!
Vaya con Dios, MI amigo!

Sorry to hear of Kenny´s passing. He was always a fun high school friend. I remember that he was an excellent wood worker and always had beautiful works in shop class. So happy to hear he was devoted to serving at the food bank. God bless you all.

Ken my friend I´m going to miss u so much we worked together at the foodbank for 5yrs i will miss talking with on Wednesday mornings about the broncos n other stuff in general RIP my friend you will be missed dearly.my friend love you

I am saddened beyond belief. For over 4 years, 4 days a week I was blessed to spend time daily with you. We laughed, shared stories, shared photos of our latest home projects and got er dun at the Loveland Food Share. Your calm demeanor, constant smile and ability to engage and converse with all will be sorely missed. Thank you my friend. Thank you for being you. Rest In Peace Ken.

Our deepest sympathy to offer comfort during this time. It was such a shock as I'm sure you all feel. May your memories sustain you during this terrible time.
