Kenneth “Ken” was born December 21, 1987 to Tammy Tobacco and Bernerd Two Bulls. Ken left this life peacefully on December 29, 2024 at home in Cresco, IA.
In his youth, Ken spent summers fishing and camping with his father Dalvin and with relatives in various places. Ken never allowed the terms, “step-parent, step-child, or step-sibling” to determine his love for them, he loved them all equally regardless. Ken spent years working various jobs in various places but mostly in Rapid City, SD. Throughout his years of life, his charismatic character brought him lasting friendships and brotherhoods in all walks of life. His ability to bond with and train his dogs was a talent of his own, if you saw Ken you know his dog was not far behind. He enjoyed long cruises in the hills, spending time with his kids, and being around all who loved him. Always with a smile and laugh, ever ready to defend his loved ones, to know Ken is to love him.
