Born in Orange, Texas, on January 11, 1963, he was the son of Adoph Hryhorchuk and Doris Janell Hryhorchuk.
Ken, before all else, was a Christian man. His faith carried him to the very end of his race, believing that God was in control every step of the way. He was devout in his trust in the Lord and was at peace with which ever way he was healed. Beyond his faith, family was the most important thing to Ken. He enjoyed time spent with them and never let them doubt his love. He was a jokester, had a big personality, an even bigger heart, and took pride in making people smile. Ken loved the outdoors, enjoyed a good golf game and found joy hunting and fishing. He will be missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him.
He was greeted at The Pearly Gates by his son, Tyler Hryhorchuk, and his parents, Adolph and Janell Hryhorchuk
He is survived by his loving wife of 31 years, Karen Hryhorchuk; his son, Jacob Hryhorchuk and wife, Chelsey; his sisters, Phyllis Ford and husband, Darrell, Cindy Skinner and husband, Paul, and Susan Hryhorchuk; his mother-in-law, Jewel Mazza; and numerous other loving family members and friends.
Serving as pallbearers will be Jacob Hryhorchuk, Blake King, Brian Hudson, Daren Peveto, Billy Oldham, and Michael Mason. Honorary pallbearers are Paul Skinner, Darrell Ford, Buck Holievina, Clint Permenter, Jeff Chance, and Keith Hines.
