Kenneth G Bostwick Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Kenneth G. Bostwick, 66, of Beavercreek Oregon unexpectently passed away of a heart attack in his sleep at home, peacefully, on the morning on March 29, 2013. Ken was born in Portland Oregon to Kenneth and Leila Bostwick, on December 14, 1946. He was raised in Milwaukie and graduated from Milwaukie High School in 1965. Ken was married to his sweetheart, Jeanette on September 8, 1967 and cherished her for over 45 years. He served in the United States Air force until 1969. That same year, he began to work for First National Bank. He graduated from Portland State with a Bachelors degree, went to Oregon State for a short while and then continued on to earn a Master's in Business from Portland State. If you asked Ken though, he considered himself a Beaver through and through! Ken continued to bank and retired from Wells Fargo in 2007 after 38 years of dedicated service. In the time since, he lived life to the fullest, traveling in the RV to the coast with Jeanette numerous times, herding and doting after his 5 animals, playing endless card games with his mother, mall walking, tinkering around the house, taking on more "honey-do" tasks than he could ever finish, joining a gym and cheering on his grandson Brandon in basketball and soccer. One of the recent highlights is he enjoyed a wonderful trip with Jeanette and his great friends Sam and Coleen on a Mediterranean cruise. Ken was very involved in his community and in his children's lives as they grew up. He was a Scout Master for his 2 sons in Boy Scouts. Throughout his life, he belonged to Portland Toastmasters, Clackamas Rotary, Tualitan Lions Club, and United Way. He was the President of the Clackamas Community College Foundation and was proud to contribute to the school. Ken was involved in many golf tournaments over the years in support of several foundations and took great pride in working for, and giving back to his community. He was an avid sports fan, rooting on the Beavers and the Portland Trail Blazers until the end! No doubt that Ken was the life of every party, and wherever he was, laughs were had all around; he will be truly missed! Ken is survived by his wife Jeanette, and his sons Kenny, Michael and Christopher. He leaves behind six grandchildren whom he loved dearly: Darian, Brook, Tess, Brandon, Tyler and Brady Bostwick. Ken will join his sister Connie whom he has dearly missed for 6 years, but leaves behind his mother Leila, 2 brothers, Phil Bostwick and Jim Bostwick, and his sister Sue Keyes. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Holman-Hankins-Bowker and Waud Funeral Home in Oregon City. A private funeral will be held at Willamette National Cemetery with a military honored burial. We will be having a memorial service on Saturday, April 6th at 1:00 at Beautiful Savior Church in Clackamas, Oregon. Please join us to celebrate the wonderful loving husband, son, brother, father, grandfather, and friend we knew Ken to be.
