Kenneth Haugstad Obituary

Stanwood - Born to Orville and Bernice Haugstad on February 24, 1946, Higgie lived a life defined by hard work, good fun, and an unwavering devotion to his family and friends. He passed away on November 29, 2025, in Stanwood, Washington, at the age of 79.

Higgie was a proud member of the Twin City Idlers and his passion for classic cars was a gift he shared with his sons and grandsons, creating a multi-generational bond that will continue long after his passing. He also enjoyed meeting friends for Monday breakfasts and Thursday lunches and spending time at home with his daughter, Taya.

Ken is survived by his wife of 55 years, Karrie, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and partnership. He also leaves behind his sons Jeremy (Casie), Chris (Diana), and Jason (Jennifer) Jensen, as well as his precious daughter Taya, grandsons Chance and Larson, and brothers Jerry and Bob. For all of us, there was no better husband, father, or grandpa on earth!

There will be a gathering of friends and family on Saturday, March 14, 2026, 3:00-5:00 pm at the Sons of Norway, Stanwood. Please join us to share memories of a life well-lived.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
