Ken Else was born
in 1933, to Vern and
Velma Else. He grew up
in Collbran, Colorado
where he enjoyed hunting,
fishing, riding horse back,
and many other activities.

and they had two children, Yvonne and Martin.
Ken joined the Army in 1960. He received
commendations for Sharpshooter (rifle) and a Good
Conduct Medal. His last assignment was in the
Phillippines.
Ken and Dorothy always welcomed everyone into
their home and most always headed for the ski slope
or camping. Many wonderful times were made skiing
with friends and family. Ken loved the outdoors where
he spent many hours fishing, hunting, camping, skiing,
playing golf and tennis. Some of his greatest fishing
experiences were in Alaska. Ken skied for many years
and ended his ski time at Sunlight Ski Area. He was still
skiing at the age of 87. Many ski stories and memories
he had. He enjoyed his cabin on the Grand Mesa in the
summer time. His freezer was always full of venison,
elk, antelope, and lots of fish.
Kennie was preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy;
his parents, and his children. Surviving are his wife,
Rosie, and many people that he considered family and
friends. His most important relationship was with his
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is now rejoicing with
him and his loved ones in Heaven.
