July 1, 1938 – January 14, 2023 Age 84
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Ken, Husband, Father, Grandpa, Uncle and Friend.
Surviving is wife, Judy of 60 years, daughter Carolynn Boomer (Jim), son Bill Zutz, sister, Jean Snowdy (Stan), niece Tara Snowdy, grandchildren, Blaine Boomer (Machyla), Colton Boomer, Danielle Zutz and Janna Zutz (Cole), niece Mary Yau (Dan) and nephew Tom Blais (Amanda), brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jim and Sandra Blais.
Ken was predeceased by his parents, William and Louise Zutz, brother-in-law, Don Mount, and in-laws, Geoff and Carol Barlow.
Ken was born in Winnipeg and came to BC on his 8th birthday, July 1st, 1946. He grew up on a farm in Enderby. He graduated from Enderby High School in 1956. Worked in Field, BC then Vancouver as a CPR dispatcher. During this time, he met Judy and married in 1962. Ken took up Barbering and bought the Prince Charles Hotel Barber Shop in Penticton in 1963. Four years later with the first born, Carolynn, we returned to Vancouver. Our second child, Bill was born in 1966 in Burnaby. In 1973 we moved to Kamloops to manage the Interior Fire and Safety business. Ken decided to apply at BC Hydro and stayed with them as a Power Smart Representative for 23 years. He retired in 1997 where he continued to enjoy skiing, golfing, Masons’ and Shriners’ activities. He loved to travel and did we ever! From South America, China, New York, Panama to Europe and Australia the only continent he didn’t get to was Africa.
Ken was a community minded man who loved people, loved the Blazers Hockey team and volunteering in a huge variety of events. His biggest passion was the Kamloops Shriners Motor Corps parades and Gizeh Shriners of BC & Yukon for 33 years. At one time, he was the Shriners’ Hospital Rep. for Kamloops children.
Ken loved skiing at Sun Peaks and for several years was a Sun Guide then one of the Sun Peaks Antiques, often skiing his age. Golfing was another passion with his buddy, Hamer. Bet the two of them are raising heck on a course up in the sky!
The family wish to celebrate this unique, loved human who will be missed by many. Please join us at the Senior’s Centre at Desert Gardens, on Saturday, March 4th at 1:00 pm. 540 Seymour Street.
The family extends gratitude to all the staff at Pine Grove Care Centre for their excellent care and compassion the past seven months. Special thanks to the two Shriners, Stan McLeod and Stan Twist who showed their brotherly love visiting Ken regularly and playing crib.
In lieu of flowers, Donations may be made to Gizeh Shriners Child Services Society, 102 – 4238 Lozells Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5A 0C4. In Memory of Noble Kenneth Zutz (A Tax Receipt will be issued).
