His family relocated to Jacksonville, Florida early in Ken’s life. He would go on to graduate from William M. Raines High School and make Jacksonville his home. Ken joined Johnson & Johnson Vision (Vistakon). He was a dedicated employee for over 30 years and held various positions across the organization. Outside of work and family, Ken enjoyed playing basketball at a young age and later developed a passion for playing golf. He was known for his quick wit, infectious smile, kindness, compassionate spirit, and dedication to family.
