On July 9, 1948, he married his sweetheart, Darlene Buttars, in the Logan LDS Temple. They made their home in Providence where they raised their eight children. He worked in the production department of the Logan Herald Journal, where for 43 years he helped put out the daily newspaper. He had an incredible memory and enjoyed talking and writing about his life's experiences and days gone by.
Ken was devoted to his family, church and country. He and his beloved wife were a remarkable team, working together side by side for over 60 years. He served his community as city councilman, city clerk and mayor. His church service included callings as bishop, stake presidency counselor, multi-region welfare agent, seven LDS missions including full-time service in Hawaii and Vermont, and 10 years service in the Logan LDS Temple.
He will be remembered for his Swiss-German work ethic and honesty, a beautiful yard and garden, skilled hands that could make or fix most anything, his jeep and love of the out of doors, and his devotion to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

Braegger; survived by children: Lana (Steve) Barlow, Bountiful, Utah; Lyle (Sue), Malad, Idaho; Kim (Rozanne), Richmond, Utah; Thayne (Colleen), Hyde Park, Utah; Jan (Keith) Rasmussen, Chester, Oklahoma; Roy (Janice), Herriman, Utah; Van, Providence, Utah; daughter-in-law Carrie Braegger, South Jordan, Utah; brother Arvel Braegger (Lovena), Logan, Utah; 32 grandchildren and 79 great-grandchildren.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to caring family, friends, neighbors, ward members and to the wonderful personnel at Caregiver Support Network.
