Ken was born Thursday, March 15, 1951 at Hearst, Ontario to Dagmar and Donald Hooper. Ken resided in Hearst, Ontario, Kapuskasing, Ontario, Swan River, Manitoba, Wanless, Manitoba, Clearwater Lake, Manitoba and Moose Lake, Manitoba until the time of his passing. Ken was an outgoing, friendly, kind, generous person. He loved to joke around with everyone he came across, especially his grandchildren. He enjoyed traveling, especially to his camper where he usually did his logging and enjoyed the outdoors. Ken liked to do puzzles, play cards and play bingo. His taste in movies had to be about cowboys, especially if his favorite actor John Wayne was in it. Ken had a big heart for soccer especially liked watching Hawks Soccer Club. One of Ken’s new hobbies was singing on his new karaoke singing “Stand By Your Man” even though he didn’t have the lyrics for it. Ken was outspoken and always gave a helping hand to family, friends and within the community. His favorite word was “Awuz”. In 1979, Ken met Arlene Ruby Martin. Together they raised their children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. June 28, 1996 was his favorite day when he exchanged vows with Arlene in The Pas, Manitoba.
