Kenneth George Paddock, known affectionately as Ken to his friends and family, passed away
peacefully on April 27th, 2024, at Riverdale PCH in Rivers, Manitoba. Born on May 15, 1937, in
Pettapiece, Manitoba, Ken’s life was a testament to the values of generosity, faith, and
resourcefulness.
After completing his Agriculture Diploma at the University of Manitoba and obtaining an Electronics
Repair Certificate from DeVry Technical Institute, Ken dedicated his life to mixed farming. Ken's love
for the land and his deep faith in God were an inspiration to his family and community.
His life was shared with his beloved wife, Reta, and together they built a family that includes their
daughter Colleen (Robert) Morris, their sons Brad (Sandra), Greg (Christine), and Darran (Sharlette).
Ken was the proud grandfather to Anna, Melissa, Andrew, Alicia, Noah, Judah, Rainn, Caleb, and
Hannah.
Ken is also survived by his brother Wesley Paddock, and pre-deceased by his parents Martin and
Thea, and siblings Ernest and Merlyn.
Ken was a man of many talents, with a particular gift for carpentry. His creations stand as a testament
to his skill and attention to detail.
Ken was a man whose actions spoke louder than words. His generous spirit was evident in every
aspect of his life, from his willingness to lend a helping hand, to his unwavering support of his family
and friends. Ken's faith-filled life was an inspiration to many, guiding him through the trials and
tribulations of life with a quiet strength and a heart full of grace.
His legacy will live on not only in the projects he completed and the farm he tended but also in the
countless lives he enriched through his generosity and spirit.
His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Rivers Legion Hall, 633 - 2nd Ave, Rivers, MB on Friday, May
