Ken French, age 56, passed away on January 8, 2026, at home, surrounded by the people he loved most.

Ken was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose life revolved around caring for his family. He worked as a CNC machinist at BOS Manufacturing, a role that reflected who he was, a skilled, dependable, hardworking, and always willing to put in the time to get things done right.

Outside of work, Ken loved the outdoors. Fishing and hunting brought him peace, but nothing meant more to him than time spent with his family. He was always busy working on one of his many projects, not because he had to, but because providing, fixing, and building were how he showed love. If someone needed something, Ken made sure it was handled.

He was an amazing dad who cared deeply about his children and took great pride in being there for them. Becoming a grandfather brought him immense joy, his grandchildren were truly his pride and joy, and he loved them fiercely.

Ken is survived by his loving wife, Patty French; his children, Michelle (Joey) Howell, Jacob French, and Calvin French; and his cherished grandchildren, Zennie, Thomas, and Sandra. He is also survived by his siblings, Kathy Henry; Bryan (Debbie) Adamski; Chris (Debbie) Adamski; and Judy (Stan) Chesney, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles who will miss him dearly.

He shared a lifelong bond with his best friend of many years, James Hough-a friendship built on loyalty, laughter, and countless memories.

Ken was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy French, and his father, Gerald Adamski.

Ken will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his steady presence, his generous heart, and the quiet ways he made sure everyone around him was taken care of. His love lives on through the family he built and the lives he touched.

Services will be held at a later date this spring.
