Kenneth Stuart Wilson

Ken passed away peacefully following a stoic 23 month journey in the aftermath of a stroke.

Ken started working at a young age helping his father in his trucking business and moved on to other various jobs in the community. Ken chose to become a journeyman plumber, acquired an apprenticeship, and received his classroom training at NAIT. Ken worked as a plumber for many years supervising and guiding new recruits. Over the years Ken moved into construction project management in residential subdivision development, four story walkups and eventually high-rise condo apartments. Ken tackled every venture with an organized plan and took pride in the accomplishment.

Ken met his life partner Dorothy (nee Saluk) at a campground halfway between Jasper and Hinton.  They celebrated their 50th anniversary on April 22, 2022.

Ken is survived by his wife: Dorothy; daughter: Cassie (Brad); son: Kurt (Patti); granddaughter: Kara (Morgan); and great granddaughter: Chanel.  He leaves behind his brother: Bob; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ken was predeceased by his parents: Bill and Phyllis Wilson; grandson: Devon; and brother: Richard.

Ken’s generous spirit extended out into the community lending a helping hand to friends and neighbors. He was an active member of the Canadian Progress Club for 20 years.  As a co-organizer of a company golf tournament, they raised over $12,000 annually for Kids With Cancer.  Ken was an avid golfer and a curious traveler.  He had a wicked sense of humor and a hearty laugh that was easily recognizable.  He valued friendship and family and made each person he spoke with feel special.  Ken lived life.

A Celebration of Life will take place in the spring.
