On Saturday, October 16, 2021, a beautiful fall afternoon, our father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend went home.
He was born in Brigham City, Utah, on April 25, 1951, the son of Marjorie and Elmo Lish.
He married Aileen Coates on March 15, 1975. They raised three children: Brandon, Amanda and Aimee. Aileen passed away on October 28, 1997.
He married Erica Baton on September 9, 1999 and she brought her four children, Roger, Shane, Niari and Danielle. We became a united family. Erica passed away on October 13, 2021.
He was a graduate of Box Elder High School in 1969.
Ken was in the Peace Corp and was an active member of the Elks Lodge of which he served as Exalted Ruler in 1984. He was also involved as a trustee overseeing charitable events and fundraising for many years. He worked at Andersen Ford, where he was parts manager and then later went to work at ATK until he retired. His hobbies included working on cars, guns, gardening, and his family.
He is survived by his children, Amanda Lish; Aimee Lish; Roger S. (Lisa) Baton, Jr; Shane D. (Leslie) Baton; Niari A. (Justin) McFarland; Danielle Brown; 13 grandchildren; sister, Patsy Koford-Beecher as well as many nieces and nephews.
