Kenneth K. Koehn
Ken was born on July 24, 1945, in Adams, Wisconsin, to Krist and Teresa Mary (Kettenhofen) Koehn. He was a proud graduate of Adams-Friendship High School in 1963. After completing his education, he joined the US Navy, where he served 3 years on the submarine, USS Trumpetfish. He then pursued various occupations, including working at Metalfab, an over the road semi-truck driver, and Petenwell County Park. In 1985, he married Linda Waller (Nee Olson), and they were blessed with a beautiful life together.
Ken had a passion for bee-keeping and solving puzzles and crosswords. He cherished spending time with his family, especially during holidays. He and Linda created unforgettable memories with their Halloween haunted house and festive Christmas decorations, where they dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Ken was a member of Adams/Quincy Masonic Lodge #71, the Shriners, and the YMCA.
Kenneth was preceded in death by his parents, Krist and Teresa Koehn; brother and sister-in-law, Gordon and Faye Koehn; and sister and brother-in-law, Bev and Lee Mueller. He will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Linda; sons, Aaron (Celina) Koehn and Adam Koehn; step-son, Mike Waller; and step-daughter, Michelle Chase; sister, June (Ron) Duckworth; nine grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. He is also survived by nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and friends.
As per Ken’s wishes, there will be no service or celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to 111 Pepper Ave, Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494, in Kenneth’s memory.
Roseberry’s Funeral Home is assisting the family. Please visit www.roseberrys.com to offer online condolences and for further information.
So sorry to hear of Ken’s passing. Bob and I are so happy we started seeing you in PCB for the last 9 years. From the first day we met I knew it would be a great beginning for so many great memories. Being in the Navy (submarines) and not seeing each other for 49 years, then meeting in PCB it was like they had never left each other’s side. Two peas in a pod. As Ken always said “Bob was his brother from another mother”
Then your surprise visit here to Cape Cod for a birthday celebration was the best.
Bob is at a loss for words but know you are in our hearts forever.
With our deepest sympathy
Love Bob and Marie
I met Ken at the “Y” and enjoyed visiting with him. He was a great guy.

I am so sorry to hear about Kenny’s passing. Sending my condolences. Kenny taught me how to square dance in 4-H. He had a great voice and was always fun to be around.

We were lucky enough that he and Linda came to our wedding, and when we ran into them he was carrying around a shot of Southern (my favorite) searching for me! That’s a priceless memory.

He was one of a kind, and after reading through all these other condolences I’m not surprised by how many will miss him…what a good guy. My thoughts are with you all.
