Ken was preceded in death by his daughter Kristen, his parents, and his brother and sister.

Ken was born to Robert Henry Edgerton and Birdie Mae Pier on October 23, 1943 in Laramie, Wyoming. Robert Henry’s position with Hoover had the family moving frequently so Ken and his younger siblings, brother Edward Lee and sister Bonnie Kay, lived in short stints in various states. Ken followed in his father’s footsteps and began his work life at Hoover which eventually culminated in the family’s move to Colorado in 1975. Shortly after settling in Colorado, Ken began his service as a Denver Deputy Sheriff and was in that position for almost 28 years. In his leisure time, Ken enjoyed sailing, bowling, golfing, camping, and fishing. He also expressed a talent for drawing and created some memorable and beautiful sketches.
