Ken Ogden
1942-2017
Kenneth “Ken” Markham Ogden, cherished
husband, father, grandfather and brother, died on August 3, 2017, at
the Saint John Regional Hospital in the arms of his loving
family.
Born on April 11, 1942 to the late Huey and Opal (Hachey)
Ogden, Ken was a gifted artist, musician and writer. Always eager to
learn and create, as a teenager Ken played many instruments and was a
member of several bands, including Saint John’s own Beetles.
With his creative mind and quick wit, Ken spent more than 40 years
working as a producer at CHSJ Radio and Television. He excelled in the
production industry and directed several award-winning commercials
– but more than anything Ken enjoyed the lifelong
friendships he made with his co-workers at the station.
Ken was a resourceful carpenter and avid gardener at the
Hampton, NB home he built from the ground up and shared with his
beloved wife of 52 years Theresa Ogden. There, they raised two
children, Jason Ogden and Keely Cosman, and hosted countless
gatherings with family and friends. Ken took immense pride in his
children – and later, his grandchildren – and
never missed an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments. His
family brought him true joy and was his greatest
passion.
A man with a gentle heart and boundless curiosity, Ken never
missed the evening news and loved to discuss local happenings and
Saint John history. An accomplished cook and master card player, Ken
loved living life to the fullest and inspired those around him to do
the same. He found joy in simple pleasures and woke up every morning
looking at the bright side of life.
Ken – better known as Dad, Grampy or Kenny
– will be deeply missed by his wife and best friend of 52
years, Theresa Ogden; son Jason Ogden and his wife Candice MacLean of
Saint John, NB; daughter Keely Cosman and her husband Roger Cosman of
Saint John, NB; grandchildren Dillon, Dakota, Dallas and Colby Cosman;
sisters Shirley Crabbe of Saint John, NB, Marjorie Mawhinney of Maces
Bay, NB, and Maureen Kyle of Saint John, NB; as well as several nieces
and nephews. Besides his parents, Ken was predeceased by his brother
Raymond.
Arrangements will be held privately. Donations in memory of
Ken may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Saint John Regional
Hospital Palliative Care or to the charity of the donor’s
choice. Personal condolences to the family and donations may be made
