Kenneth Daniel Kothe

Kenneth Daniel Kothe, of Delta, Colorado, passed away peacefully at home on June 11, 2025, at the age of 81. He was born July 5, 1943, in Denver County to George Edward Kothe and Delilah Ever Kothe (Quinby).

Ken married the love of his life, Ollie Alsleben, on May 30, 1968, in Denver. Together, they raised five children along Colorado’s Front Range, creating a home filled with love, laughter, and dedication. In 2000, they settled in Delta, where Ken continued to work tirelessly to support his family until his retirement in 2018. In retirement, Ken and Ollie embraced life on the road—traveling across the country, visiting loved ones, and enjoying time at their favorite casinos. Ken also found joy in quiet moments spent fishing and cheering on his beloved Denver Broncos.

Ken never met a stranger. Whether he was swapping stories or cracking a joke—appropriate or not—he loved to make people laugh. His quick wit, big heart, and easygoing nature made him a friend to many.

He was always there to lend a hand, whether it was fixing a car, stringing up Christmas lights, or sharing hard-earned advice. His greatest joy was helping others and making life a little easier for the people he loved.

Ken was preceded in death by his sons, Glenn and Kelly Kothe. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Ollie Kothe; daughters Kendra Hubbard (Don), Deb VonFeldt (Ted), and Kim Suppes (Brian); his grandchildren—Greg, Bradd, Cody, Trey, Blake, Austin, and Zach; as well as twelve great-grandchildren.

Ken leaves behind a legacy of laughter, loyalty, and love. He will be deeply missed.
