Kenneth “Ken” was born in Flint on July 3, 1967, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth and Rose (Mireles) Rosebush. He met and married the love of his life, Karen Kryger, on July 25, 1998, at Calvary Church in Flint. Ken was a Carpenter by trade and owned his own business called Never Ending Home Improvement. He loved carpentry and was taught at an early age by his father who was also a carpenter. Ken was a family man and loved to spend time with them, especially his grandchildren. They were his whole world. Ken was an entertainer and loved all people. He enjoyed hosting 4th of July parties where he would have over 300 people in attendance. Ken was an avid outdoorsman and would often be found fishing wherever he found water, hunting in Gladwin, or camping on Crystal Lake. To say he took pride in his lawn would be an understatement, he was meticulous in making sure his lawn looked the best and he mowed it at least twice a week to keep it looking good. Playing poker was one of his favorite hobbies. He would play with friends, on his phone, or at Soaring Eagle Casino. In his free time, he enjoyed watching racing, and car shows and watching the Kansas City Chiefs football. He was well known for his big heart and the ability to care for anyone in need. He was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather, and will be greatly missed.
