Kenneth Lee Weeks taught us how to enjoy the gift of life and took fashion advice from no one. Beloved grandpa, father, brother, husband, and friend left us on January 16, 2018 after experiencing complications from a heart attack. Born to Gray and Frances Weeks in Murray, Utah on December 29, 1955, he attended Murray High and graduated with a degree in advertising and marketing from Brigham Young University. His large, loving personality was infectious, which drew others to him and forged friendships with people around the globe. Ken was compassionate and believed in helping others get back on their feet.
He approached life with an entrepreneurial spirit that couldn't be constrained by a nine to five job. His appreciation for a great sales pitch and his extensive curiosity for business led him to create several partnerships with people from different backgrounds. Being an entrepreneur was more than business to Ken, it was about relationships, learning, and trust.
Life itself was truly an adventure for Ken. Whether he was sharing a meal with friends, catching a wave on a boogie board, traveling the world, sailing on the bay, or watching a movie with his family, he made the experience memorable. In the winter months, Ken could often be found with his family at Snowbird, where he taught his children to ski and passed on his passion for the mountains.
Kenny is adored and survived by his wife, Michele, children Michael (Courtney), Jessica, Missy, Natalie, Joshua, and Christian, brother Bob, sisters Kaye Wyler and Ginger Monsen, and grandchildren, Grayson and Sloane.
We will celebrate Kenny's life on Saturday, January 20, 2018 at 10:00 am at the First Presbyterian Church of Salt Lake City, 12 C St E. A viewing will be held the night before, January 19 from 6:00-8:00 pm at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 E Dimple Dell Road, Sandy, UT. Condolences may be shared with the family at www.larkinmortuary.com.
