Ken was a loving husband, father, brother, son, uncle and good friend to all that knew him. He was born to Constance and Selden Lyford in San Mateo in 1954.
Ken was born Aug. 1, 1954 and raised in the Soquel Mountains, where he grew a passion for fishing, hunting, and all sport activities at an early age. He was known to be the life of the party and a loyal devoted friend to many. He graduated from Soquel High in 1972 and married classmate Terri Rogers at their home in the Santa Cruz Mountains in 1980.
In 1992, Ken moved to Fall River Mills in Northern California where he continued his love for the outdoors while raising his family in the country. A hard worker and a master craftsman, he took pride in building beautiful homes all over California.
Ken was and is a living legend. He lives on in our memories of him and stories we all share. Larger than life, a friend to all, a hard worker with a heart of gold, but above all … a true family man.
He is survived by his wife of 34 years Terri Lyford, daughters Casey and Jodi, sister Beth and brothers Steve and Mike.
