Kenneth's obituary

Kenneth (Ken) Mark Wickstrom passed away peacefully at Saint Alphonsus Hospital in Nampa, Idaho Thursday evening on May 13, 2021 after battling brain cancer at 53 years old. His mother, Kathy Heady had her hand on his chest when he took his last breath while his Step Father, Leonard Headley, and Sister, Jodi Falcone were present in the room. Ken will always be remembered for his strength that he possessed in the mind, body, and soul that even death itself could only take him while he was sleeping because it knew it was no match for his strength when he was awake. He was also known for his charming personality that was always complimented with a big smile.

Ken's favorite place was his home on Grand Lake where he would regularly take out his boat and fish. He was also a sports fan, with the Oakland Raiders and Los Angles Lakers being his favorite teams.

Ken is survived by his Mother, Kathy Headley Step Mother Charlayne Wickstrom, Father, Doug Wickstrom, Step Father, Leonard Headley, his three sisters, Jodi Falcone, Wendy Westfall, and Jennifer White his five brothers, Adam Short, D.J. Wickstrom, Bill Wilson, Ron Wilson, and Bob Wilson, his son, Ken Wickstrom II, and his daughter, Kayla Wickstrom.
