Ken W. Webster (Turtle Clan) who was born February 15, 1943, to Wilfred and Lena (Cornelius), began his journey February 24, 2026, shortly after turning 83.

After graduating from West De Pere High School in 1961, Ken bravely served with the 1st Battalion, 8th Calvary, aka The Jumping Mustangs in Vietnam and was honorably discharged in 1967. Shortly after, he met and married Pearl McLester, recently celebrating 57 years together, along with their three children (see survivors below).

Ken proudly worked for many years maintaining machinery at Response Graphics, retiring at the age of 55. During retirement, if you didn't find Ken on the golf course or the bowling alley, where he threw a few perfect 300 games, you'd find him in his home mechanic's shop. In fact, there are very few community members whose lawn mowers, chainsaws, among others, that he hasn't repaired or maintained. Often, he provided full service by picking up and delivering at a great price, much to the delight of everyone he served, which is symbolic of the true nature of his legacy, especially his family. Ken was a quiet man who unconditionally loved and provided for his family as he guided and celebrated his children through all of life's trials and victories, respectively. He continued this priority by caring for his three grandchildren.

Ken is survived by his wife, Pearl, sons Scott (Linda) and Garth (Falicia) and daughter Tonya (Gerald). He is further survived by brother Dale (Bobbi), grandchildren, Joshua, Skye, and Justice as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Ken is preceded in death by his parents, father and mother-in-law Pearl and Lee Gordon McLester II, siblings: Joe, Donald, Leroy, Arleen, Orville, Ronald, and Murial and all of his aunts and uncles.
