Kermit was born November 13, 1917, to William and Grace
(Michelson) Engh at Goldfield, Iowa. He graduated Kanawha
High School in 1936, and two years later married the love of his
life, Jessie Louise Brown, on November 24, 1938. They farmed
in the Kanawha area for 25 years, before moving to Boulder,
Colorado in 1964. Kermit retired from the University of
Colorado after 20 years, retiring in Grand Junction in 1987.
Kermit enjoyed his woodworking and woodcarving, enjoyed
fishing with Jessie and his family, fishing just about every
fishing hole in Colorado, and traveling in their motorhome. He
never met a stranger and would strike up a conversation with
anyone. He moved to The Atrium where he was surrounded by
many beloved friends.
Kermit is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jessie Louise
(Brown) of 65 years; daughter, Nancy Burns and son, Keith
Engh, and two infant children. He is survived by his loving
daughter, Carmen Engh and sister, Shirley Engstrom of
Kanwaha; grandchildren, Scott Helmick (Karen), Christina
Engh (Derek Schappert), Tana Bryan (Jeff), Michelle Thomas,
Brittany Engh, and Austin Engh; seven great-grandkids, and
three great-great-grandkids. The family would like to include
nephew, Bob and his wife, Jo Anne Stroup, and Kay and Steve
Volman as very close family friends. We love you.
Kermit is also survived by his sister-in-law, Arlene of
Kanawha and numerous nieces, nephews, and many friends. He
was also preceded in death by his parents, William and Grace
Engh, mother and father-in-law, Viola and Harry Brown and
brother, Willis.
