Kenneth Mink Obituary
Kenneth Mink, age 91, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 16, 2025. He was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather.
He is preceded in death by his parents Ked and Doris Mink, great-grandson Hunter Mink; siblings: David, Ronnie, Joanne; and several furry spoiled cats.
Ken is survived by his loving wife of 35 years Irene; daughters: Kathy Valdez (Joe), Cindy Belden (Paul); grandchildren: Kelly, Misty, Renee, Heather, and Kenny; seven great grandchildren; and special in laws: Vi Ulibarri, Andrea Higgins, Orlando Ulibarri.
He was a perfect gentleman, as kind as they came. He was an insurance agent for many years but loved working with his hands, remodeling, doing small construction jobs and also enjoyed part time work in accounting.
His passion was his family. We especially loved the way he would tell a corny joke and laugh before the punch line. He also enjoyed travel, hiking and biking in earlier years and could two step his way across the floor as we would dance. If you knew Ken, you loved him and had a friend for life.
Ken has requested no services be held.
Family would like to thank everyone that helped with his care and others that sent loving condolences.
