Kenneth Gene was a very caring, loving, and generous soul. He loved helping others in his community. He was also a servant of the Lord by visiting those who were sick and helping those who were in need. He was often seen around our little town, always greeting people with a smile and hello. He was very proud to claim his 100% Norwegian heritage.

Many knew Kenneth Gene from his occupation as an insurance agent. He was an integral part of Aars and Nelson Insurance Agency in Clifton. He was a cornerstone in the insurance business for many, many years.

Kenneth Gene married the love of his life, Clarice Pipes Bosher on January 21, 1989, in Salado. He spent the last 33 years of his life with Clarice attending Church of Christ in Clifton. Together, they continued to minister and help others.
