Ken was a Senior Vice President for Texas Capital Bank, the final position that he held after a successful 45-year long career in banking from which he retired in 2015. He was highly respected in the banking community throughout his career for his leadership and knowledge. He and Joy moved to Washington County in 2014 and immediately made many good friends in the community. Ken was a member of First United Methodist Church of Brenham and was a man of faith, never doubting his Lord's will even as he went through his illness. Ken was a connoisseur of good food and thoroughly enjoyed traveling. He also loved to attend his grandchildren's events and was a great Pop Pop to them all.
