May 15, 1950 – October 22, 2023
Kenneth passed peacefully on October 22, 2023, with love all around him.
Ken is survived by his sister Elaine; his son Lee; grandchildren Evan and Averie; first wife Colleen; second wife Lynn; children Deanna and Bill; and granddaughter McKenzie Hunnie; along with nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Jessie and Howard and brother Keith Carlson. Ken was a kind and loving man to both his families and was always there for us. We are better people for having him in our lives.
Ken was born in Winnipeg on May 15, 1950. He grew up in the West End attending General Wolfe and Daniel McIntyre. He loved his motorcycles and playing pool. Some of his favorite times were spent at Falcon and Granite Lake with friends and family. Most of all Ken loved to relax around the pool at home.
Ken worked at Boeing for 37 years, forming many long-lasting friendships. After retirement he took up golf, curling and camping with his amigos. He got to travel but when home, his hangout was the Spike in Transcona.
Thank you, Lynn, and Deanna, for the care and love you gave Ken in his last months. Ken was an inspiration to us all. He never lost his sense of humor, always smiling and laughing through what he called “his journey”.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Ken’s life will be held at a later date, at the Spike as Ken wished.
Forever Loved

Worked with Ken many years ago at Boeing. Although we were in different departments the nature of our responsibilities meant steady contact.
Up untill the last year or two before Ken’s health took a sharp downturn I golfed with him and played pool at the St, James Legion with Ken other former Boeing Boys.
The world has lost a fine man.
my sincere condolencesd to Lee, Lynn and family for the loss of Ken. We started the same year at Boeing, have been part of each others lives since then. We had many, many good times. He will be sorrily missed by me and many others. We are 2 amigos instead of 3.
Ken may have left us but great memories of Ken will be with us always.
