He served in the United States National Guard for four years and on October 29, 1983, Ken married the love of his life, Judy Beth Yarbrough and they had two sons: Dusty Baker and Mitchell Minnix. He was a field supervisor for A&A Trucks out of Lindsay, OK and loved every moment of it. He was close to his employer, his employees, and called most of his customers “friends”. Ken enjoyed OU football, playing guitar, spending his summers by the pool, hunting, and having friend ‘get togethers’. We love him and we are going to miss him terribly.
