Kenneth M. Fleck

For years, Ken Fleck, husband, father and consummate grandfather, planned to spend forever in eternal love and joy with Christ. It was God's plan too, and He called Ken to eternal joy on February 27, 2015. Ken planned futures, for himself, his family and professionally.

Ken believed in the sanctity of life - that the unborn life matters, and should be protected. In 1993, he founded Eyewitness for Life in Milwaukee, a non-profit organization that educates pregnant woman about their child's development with free ultrasound imagery. Ken was also passionate about Faith Endowment - helping ministries plan their futures and create strong endowments to sustain their ministry. But Ken's love and passion were most evident when he was with his grandchildren, Ellie, Nolan, and Liam. He couldn't say no to them, couldn't put them down, couldn't spend just a few minutes with them. He was terrible at rationing time or love for them, and they flourished in his love with laughter, and hugs. Ken was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Fleck (née Rogers), and survived by his wife, his children, grandchildren, his dad, James Fleck, Sr. (of Weatherford, TX) and his brothers and sisters, James (and his wife, Roxanne) Fleck, Jr. (of Watauga, TX); Cheryl (and her husband Michael) Conway (of Aurora, CO); Penny (and her husband, Larry) Hertel (of Menomonee Falls, WI); Jennifer (and her husband, Ronald) Kumferman (of Hartford, WI); and Diana (and her husband Mark Adler) St. James (of La Canada, CA). Funeral Services will be held at 6:30 PM on Sunday, March 8, 2015 at First Immanuel Lutheran Church, W67 N622 Evergreen Blvd, in Cedarburg. Rev. Randy Raasch will preside the service. The family will receive visitors prior to the service at the church from 3:30 - 6:30PM.
