Obituary: Kenneth Kayser, 84

Kenneth Kayser, 84, passed away November 18th at home in Whitewater with his wife, Barb, by his side. He was born February 24th, 1937, in West Allis, Wisconsin to Norman and Roberta (Marshall) Kayser.

Kenneth married the love of his life, Barbara (Boyd), in 1976. Together, they traveled and, in retirement, enjoyed winters in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Ken was self-employed most of his career, retiring from and selling J&K Wholesale Meats. He was a kind and gentle Christian man who enjoyed his family and many lifelong friends. His nickname was “Coach,” as he loved sports and played softball, baseball, basketball, and tennis. He enjoyed watching sports too and cheering on the Badgers, Brewers and Green Bay Packers.

He is survived by his loving wife, Barb; brothers Robert (Carole), Roger (Helen), David (Sharon); and sister, Norma Jean Prucha (Bill); as well as many nieces and nephews. He loved them all. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister-in-law Caroline.

No service is planned at this time. At a later date, family and friends will gather to celebrate Ken’s life.

Memorials may be made to Agrace Hospice, whose staff provided amazing and compassionate care.
