Obituary of Ken Freadrich

Kenneth John Freadrich passed away suddenly Sunday, April 14, 2024, at the farm he so loved.

Ken was born on February 3, 1951, to Walter and Alvina Freadrich in Killam, AB.

He will be forever missed by his loving wife of 49 years Marcy; his sons Troy (Kim Wiebe), his children Claire and Nolan; Kyle (Triscilla) their children Shae, and Cruz; and Leeam (Tricia), their children Jacey, Kenley, and Corbin.

Ken is also survived by his siblings Gerald, Ted (Maureen), Betty (Keith) Graham, Linda (John) Bruketa, Diane Gordon, Shirley Kearns, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Ken was predeceased by his parents, his youngest brother, Ron, brother-in-law Jerry Gordon, and sister-in-law Bobby Freadrich.

Ken was our “Mr. Fix-It”, as there was not a piece of farm equipment, household appliance, or gadget that he could not repair. But it was Ken’s gentle nature, his willingness to help anyone, his love for his family and his respect for the land that will keep him in our hearts.

We are heartbroken but Ken would want us to pick up the parts and put this family “machine” back together and move forward.

The celebration of Ken’s life will be held on Monday, April 22, 2024, at Killam Community Hall at 2:00pm.

Memorial contributions in Ken’s memory may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Heart and Stroke Foundation, or Battle River Community Foundation.
