March 2nd, 1952 - June 5th, 2025

Ken was born in Greeley, Colorado to Henry and Katherine Erbes on March 2nd, 1952, sharing his birthday with his beloved mother. He attended Windsor High School and graduated in 1970. He retired from Jorgensen Laboratories in 2018 after 14 years there, and 50+ total years in the workforce. After retiring, Ken volunteered daily at the Food Bank of Larimer County, where he took great pride and joy in serving his community. Ken enjoyed many hobbies, the most of which was woodworking he created many masterpieces that decorate the house he shared with his wife, Jenny. When Ken had a garden, he enjoyed growing peppers. Ken enjoyed watching football especially college football (GO BLUE). During the football offseason Ken enjoyed his and Jenny’s trips to Estes Park. In recent years, he also enjoyed building Lego sets - these can also be found throughout his house and in the houses of those he loved most. He was loyal to his family, always being the first to help and share his wisdom.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:4-7)
We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you. (Joshua 1:9)
