Kenneth was born May 4, 1953, in Provo, Utah. He was a very hard worker and often worked extra jobs to help provide for his family. He grew up working construction at his father’s company, and served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the New England States Eastern Canada Mission. Kenneth married his loving wife, Camile Call Ralphs, in the Provo Temple in 1975. He attended Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University, where he graduated with a degree in Business Management. He retired from Provo School District where he was the warehouse manager. He has been spending the last few years with family, who were the joys of his life.
Kenneth found great joy in serving in many callings for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; he especially loved the time he spent with the youth.
