KENNETH L. WITHEM
Kenneth was blessed with a very large immediate and extended family of 22 brothers and sisters. They have maintained their strong sense of family through the years by attending regular family reunions. Ken loved those opportunities to visit, laugh and catch up on family news. He enjoyed playing cards with family and friends, listening to vintage country music and traveling.
Ken began his lifelong love of cars and working with machinery in adolesence. He went on to be an auto mechanic in the U.S. Marine Corps and served on Guan, Okinawa and China during WWII.
He was never a man to complain about the bumps in the road. He just calmly drove over them and drove on. He wasnt a man to gossip or belittle others. He was not a person to ever raise his voice in anger at another person.
One of the luckiest days of his life was June 25, 1957, when he married the woman he had fallen in love with, Viola. Vi had two small daughters, Lousie and Sandy. From the moment they were married, he also had two daughters. This week those two daughters are saying goodbye to the best father imaginable. They feel truly blessed with his love, his sense of humor and his goodness. He is, and always will be their definition of a good man.
Ken had a marvelous sense of humor that remained with him through his final days. Often during his hospitalization, his humor cheered up those who came to cheer him up. On Dec. 23, 1934 he was baptized at Logan Christian Church in Logan, Iowa. On Aug. 9, 2000 he went home to be with the Lord.
Kenny will be deeply missed by his family and friends who have gathered this week to mourn his passing. A moving memorial service was given by Brother G.H. Sublett at the First Baptist of El Dorado Springs.
