06/25/1925 - 10/10/2012
Our wonderful husband and father, Kenneth Culmer Clements, 87, of Westminster, CO died peacefully on October 10, 2012 following a long, happy life.
Ken was born in American Fork, UT on June 25, 1925 to Erick LeRoy Clements and Emma Love (Culmer) Clements, the eldest son of seven children.
He was raised in American Fork and graduated from AFHS in 1943. He enlisted in the US Navy as a Seabee. He served in the South Pacific during WWII.
Following the war, Ken worked as a brick mason for Geneva Steel. In 1947, he met and married the love of his life, Audery Ellen Smith.
In 1950, Ken served as a police officer with American Fork City Police. In 1953, he became a Utah Highway Patrol trooper serving in Delta and Panguitch, UT and as sergeant in Nephi, UT.
Throughout his life he was a first aid instructor, EMT, volunteer fireman, and Justice of the Peace. He volunteered his time and talent to many church civic projects. Following his retirement in 1978, he moved to Kanab, UT and began brick mason and stone work again. He built four family homes and hundreds of stone fireplaces.
Ken loved to drive through open places, especially the desert, where he and Audery spent their retirement years on four-wheelers and living in their Air Stream trailer.
He began wood carving in 1994 and gave carvings away as fast as he made them.
He survived prostate cancer, pneumonia, and a heart attack. His sense of humor and blue eyes were legendary. He was the heart of our family.
Ken is survived by his wife, Audery, of 65 years, son, Randy (Bonnie), of Alamogordo, NM, and daughter Murna (David) Besel, of Broomfield, CO, 12 grandchildren, 35 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren, a sister, Sally Clark, of Las Vegas, NV and brother, Lavelle Clements, American Fork, UT.
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Deana, brothers Murdin and Ron; sisters Opal and Sue.
A memorial service was held at Keystone Place in Westminster, CO on Monday, October 15, 2012 at 2:30 pm.
His cremated remains will be held by his family until the passing of his wife, at which time he will be laid to rest at Fort Logan National Cemetery with military honors.
