Kenneth Edward Mikels

Kenneth Edward Mikels, kind and loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, passed from this earth on September 5, 2020.

Ken was born on December 21, 1932 to Kenneth H. and Luella P. (Wolf) Mikels, who have preceded him in death.  Ken had four siblings:  a sister, Rosalie Haddle (Ray), and a brother, Dennis Mikels, survive; his sisters, Barbara Mikels and Sharon Biddlecomb (Boyd) have also preceded Ken in death. 

Ken, a skilled carpenter and contractor, built a glorious life with his wonderful wife of sixty-five years, Marjorie Ann (Baker) Mikels.  Together, they built a life they loved with their two children, Vickie Achelpohl (John) and Dean Mikels (Kelly).  Ken has six grandchildren that he shared in many adventures: Katie Schauf (Gabe), Kelsie Gregory (Ryan), Tara Frick (Blain), Lauren Harper (Andrew), Carter Mikels, and Ryan Mikels.  Two sweet great-granddaughters brightened Ken’s life as well, Greta and Gracie Schauf. 

Ken was a proud Korean War Veteran and loved telling stories of his time served.  His life as a skilled carpenter and contractor spanned decades.  Ken was a perfectionist at his craft.  It was his life as a family man that built a lasting legacy.  Ken taught kindness and patience through his example.  Family could watch him turn a simple everyday occurrence into a glorious adventure through his special magic, woven with patience, humor, and wonder.
