Ken was born on September 4, 1961, in Marshalltown, Iowa, the son of Paul and Joyce (Klemme) Adams. He grew up in Marshalltown and at the age of 10, moved with his family to Pequot Lakes, Minnesota. He graduated from Pequot Lakes High School in 1980 and then attended Brainard Vo-Tech and Central Lakes College. He worked for several years as a DJ at various radio stations in the Brainerd lakes area. Most recently he was self-employed as a driver for Compass Delivery Systems before retiring and moving to Willmar to be with family. Ken enjoyed riding motorcycle and for many years had a tradition of going to the rally at Sturgis with friends. His hobbies included cars, music, spending time with friends and family, and enjoying life. He was known as "Uncle Bear" to his friends' children.

Ken is survived by his two sisters, Cynthia Adams (and David Kleinschmidt) of Rice, MN, and Sharon Adams (and Kevin Brown) of Willmar; two uncles, Wayne Klemme of Alden, IA and Marlyn Burns of Iowa Falls, IA; and one aunt, Jean (and Pat) Rainbow of Golden Valley, MN; besides other relatives and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his father in 1973 and mother in 2025.

The memories we hold will always be treasured, and he will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved him.
