We regret to inform you of the demise of Rio Dell resident Kenneth Lee Rose. To name a few, his loved ones called him Baby, Honey BunBun, Dad, Opa, Kenneth Lee, Kenny, Rosebud, and Wolfie.
On December 16, 1969, Carl and Nancy (Cowart) Rose welcomed Ken into the world. He was Carl and Nancy’s last son and fifth child. He attended what was then known as Town School, Hydesville Elementary, Fortuna High School, and East High while growing up in Fortuna and Hydesville. Playing in the woods on Vancil Avenue in Fortuna with his brothers and friends was one of his favourite childhood memories.
Ken passed away suddenly at the age of 55 from a massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage on the morning of February 7, 2025. He was preceded in death by his parents, Nancy and Carl Rose, and his special friend, Andy Crase. He is survived by his adoring and devoted wife, Cindi Rose; his children Kenneth Lee Anderson-Rose, Benjamin Rose, Amy Rose, Matthew Rose (Melissa) and Jared Warden; Cindi’s children which he loved like his own, Molly Buck (Felix), Callie Buck, and Levi Buck; his grandchildren, Lauriana, Nevaeh, Braydon, Teheya, Trae, Bellamy, Braxton, Kaliyah, Kaysen, Natalia, and Lily; his siblings David Cowart, Ronald Rose (Heidi), Steven Rose (Audrey), Brian Rose (Tammy), and June Rose-Castro (Noe); and his in-laws, John and Arlene Mock, Aaron Mock (Ruth), and Ammi Mock (Mark).
