On Tuesday June 20th, Ken Casler, loving father and amazing friend, passed away of esophageal cancer. He had just celebrated his 75th birthday on June 15th and was able to have a great long Zoom visit with his brother and sisters. He was able to spend Father’s Day with his daughters Shay and Rhianna on the land he’s called home for almost half a century. Many in the community have known Ken over the years and been touched by his kindness and generosity. He was a talented carpenter, crafty engineer, a gifted musician, a boat captain extraordinaire, and the best Dad and Grandpa that could be imagined.
He had a passion for the environment and taking care of the land, and for creating a community of loving caring humans.
Ken was preceded in death by his father Bill and mother Vinita. He is survived by his daughters Shay Bachelder and Rhianna Bedient, his grandkids Kayla, Egan, Jenica, Tenley and Kenton, along with 4 siblings and many nieces and nephews who all loved him dearly.
There will be a memorial service at the Gardenia Center on July 14th at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Land Trust Alliance Incorporated.
