Let us celebrate a life well lived by Ken Chesney who went peacefully to the Lord on June 22, 2020.
My sister Lynn and I invite you to share your favorite memories and stories. Dad would expect most of them to be humorous; so, don't let him down. I cannot remember a day in his company that didn't include a good laugh.
Prayers for Dar are most welcome too. She continues to live in full service memory care in the apartment they shared together for the past 16 months--inseparable sweethearts since that first Sigma Chi date in the mid-1950s.
Love the photos Lynn & Thom. Hugs and prayers for peace for you.
I will miss Uncle Ken and his funny jokes.
Great memories of visiting you in Sioux Falls and Owatanna as a kid.
Ken and Dar have been such wonderful members of my 'extended family'! He and Dar have been such supportive in laws to my daughter, Noelle and Thom. I could always depend on an encouraging word and a hearty sense of humor from Ken. I admired him greatly, especially for his role in shaping the life of my incredible son-in-law , Thom. He will be greatly missed by us all! RIP Ken!!
Ken...to all the wonderful memories. Zipping down the fairway on the EZ-GO...hitting into hazards as if a reward...relaxing in the woods in Wisconsin and sipping only the finest on the porch. The ultimate tee time is now yours Ken!
I will never forget the first fish I ever caught, it was up at Grandpas & Grandmas Wisconsin home where they showed me how to dig for worms as bait. I was just a little kid, and had so much fun up there with them. I cherish the memories and still miss the pontoon rides on the lake. It is very saddening that we lost such an awesome person and great grandfather to me, love and miss him lots!

I will always remember your Dad's laugh when he told jokes, you had a great Dad! and a special place in your heart! Love, Aunty
Happy eternal birthday, Dad! You would have made to 85 today, but that's inconsequential as you're playing a round (and around) in heaven forever. I love you always.
Missing you three years today, Dad, but feeling your gentle presence always.
Missing you 5 years later, Dad, but always appreciating your gentle guidance from within and beyond my knowing.
Has it been six years already? Missing you a bit more today, Dad, but always feel your presence in my work, play, and family time.
