Kenneth Herem

My sympathy to Mr. Herem's dear family, and may Jehovah God comfort them in their time of need. Isaiah 61:2; 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

My family extends sympathy and love to Aunt Lucille, to Uncle Irvin, to Sharlene & Ray, and to Vince Vandersnick and their families at this time of loss. We appreciate the beautiful obituary, and its reflection on an exemplary life. Uncle Kenneth was always a hero because he was an active, hard working man who had an admirable pride in caring for his livestock. We appreciated his sense of humor, and his strong devotion to his family (always there at family gatherings or when his brothers or sisters needed help). We knew that we could call Kenneth & Lucille, and we'd get their support. We knew that Kenneth was given the name Stephen to honor his maternal grandfather, Stephen Allen, and we have named our own children so that loved one's names can live on. Kenneth & Lucille were always generous with their time and money (we remember wonderful Christmas gifts of skis and a toboggan, and the way they would hide them under the tree while we were away from our home. Uncle Irvin would come as Santa Claus.) We remember happy times when the sheep shearers would come to the Big Shed, and Lucille would serve us wonderful meals at the home or on the wool sacks. We remember that Kenneth made us proud to be Norwegian, with his tales of trapping skunks and other animals, traveling the trails on cross-country skis. We were proud of Kenneth and our family whenever we saw him leading the parades, carrying the flag, on one of his fine Quarter horses. We honor him as a devoted rancher, who gave love and service to many, and who leaves a legacy of accomplishment we will emulate and cherish.
