Kenneth A Lucker
February 24, 1944 — March 28, 2015
March 28, 2015, Kenny Lucker, surrounded by family at home, peacefully drifted away with the Angels.
Kenneth A. Lucker, born February 24, 1944 in Mesa, Idaho to George & Pauline (Franklin) Lucker. He was the middle child of a passel of kids! He attended school in Council. He loved growing up in the “American Graffati” days. Building your own cars and racing. In 1963 Ken met Dena Fortin of McCall at a dance at Casey’s Corral in New Meadows. On their first date they truly got “stuck in the sand” above North Beach and Dena arrived at home in the wee morning hours. (Not impressing her parents.) In 1964 they eloped on October 31st! They loved having their anniversary on Halloween and celebrated with lots of decorations and special treats for the trick-or-treaters. 1965 they were joined by their daughter, Wendy Sue.
His early career was logging and running a skitter. In 1974 he had a severe accident. His goal was to heal and return to logging. With his strong will and determination, he did just that. After a few years of logging, he decided to join the crew at Evergreen Sawmill where he retired.
Just when he thought life couldn’t be any sweeter, he became a Grandpa! His treasured granddaughters are Leah, Carla, Eliza Jane, Makaya, Riley, Myla Sue, Rose & Elli!
Please join us for a celebration of life April 18, 2015, 3:00 p.m. at the MVHS Gym. A pot luck will follow at the New Meadows Senior Center. Nathan Hess of Heikkila Funeral Chapel will be officiating.
