Kenneth 'Kenny' Paul Anderson

Kenneth 'Kenny' Paul Anderson passed away peacefully in the presence of his immediate family on Thursday, January 19th, 2023. The family would like to thank the IHC staff of Murray, Utah for his recent care at their facilities - along with several individuals who have assisted Ken in the most recent months of his life.
Ken was born December 9th, 1970 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Pam and Paul Anderson. Ken was beloved by his parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, and so many more. Ken was incredibly intelligent, passionate, and tenacious - there was nothing that he could not achieve if he set his mind to it. Ken was able to earn his Eagle Scout at the young age of 13, an accomplishment that speaks volumes to his character. He was also able to earn the Silver Moccasin during his times with NESA. Ken was a successful business owner for over 20 years; he was involved in several different business ventures in the testing of construction materials locally here in Utah. In his spare time Ken loved riding motorcycles, boating, camping, and everything outdoors. Some would call Ken an adrenaline junkie, and others might call him crazy - there was not a challenge or dare that he would not overcome with a smirk on his face. Ken will always be remembered as the life of the party, no matter the situation, through common or more extreme measures. Ken could make even the most dull moments in life full of laughs and joy. A lot of us will remember Ken as the person who took us in, and helped us to become better versions of ourselves, others may remember him as someone who would do whatever he could do to help his friends and family in need.
Ken married his high school sweetheart, Karylee (divorced) and later married Michelle Harrison (divorced), they had 3 beautiful boys together - Kenneth Dalton, Morgan Ashton, and Gunner Jackson Anderson. Ken later married Denise Kory Forbes, becoming a father figure to her two boys - Kamron Houser and Justin Strickland. Ken is survived by his immediate family: spouse Denise Anderson, sons Kenneth Dalton (Kennedy) Anderson, Gunner Jackson Anderson, and Justin Strickland, parents Paul and Pam Anderson, siblings Cherie (Brian) Walsh, Derek (Crystal) Anderson, and Heidi (Tyler) Nixon, with 3 beautiful granddaughters, a handsome grandson, and a handful of great nephews and nieces. Ken is preceded in death by his sons, Morgan Anderson, and Kamron Houser. Ken will be missed by his family, his friends, and his business colleagues - he will forever be in our hearts.
