Kenneth “Ken” L. Cother Sr. was born on August 6, 1955, to Don Sr. and Doris (Wedeking) Cother in Downey, CA.

Ken lived a good life. He was so proud of his entire family, and he treasured every moment he could spend with his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Ken was a man of many trades, and talented at every one of them. He drove truck for many years and could fix, build, or figure out just about anything.

Animals had a special place in Ken’s heart. He loved horses, but his dogs were his favorite of all.

Ken loved to give people a hard time and was a jokester right to the very end.

Ken will forever be remembered by his loving wife, Becky; children, Kenneth L. (Jackie) Cother Jr., Shannon L. Moon, Nicole Dingman, Alicia M. Cother, Billy D. Burgy, Zach Z. (Vanessa) Cother, Courtney G. Benjamin; 20 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; many siblings; and other relatives and friends.
