Kenneth (Ken) Roos passed into eternal rest peacefully at the age of 87 on April 19, 2026. He was surrounded by his family when he met his Lord and Savior.

Ken was born on May 12 , 1938 in Ripon, CA to John and Helen Roos. He grew up on the family farm on Highland Avenue with his siblings.

He was at Ford Ord in Monterey for basic training and served actively in the Army in 1961-1962. In June of 1963 He married Margaret and settled down in Ripon to farm almonds.

Ken was a hardworking, quiet, humble man who loved to be outdoors, travel on different roads, (asphalt and dirt) drink coffee with his buddies and find errant golf balls while out on the course! He always loved farming, but his greatest joy was being a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather.

Ken is survived by his wife of almost 63 years, Margaret, his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
