Kenneth Scott Harker, 67, of Campbellsville, KY passed from this life on Thursday, November 28, 2024 at Baptist Health Hardin in Elizabethtown, KY. He was born on October 23, 1957 to the late Dr. Lawrence and Doris Harker in Kirksville, Missouri.

In 1979, at Eastern Kentucky University, he met the love of his life, Cathy Shields. They united in marriage June 25, 1983. He was proud of the life they built together, especially their two amazing children.

Ken was larger than life, with a personality to match. He had the best laugh and his smile was contagious. He was always able to crack a joke, even at the most inappropriate of times. He was honest to a fault and marched to the beat of his own drum.

Ken was the happiest when he was working or hunting with his German Shorthaired Pointers. The highlight of every Fall was the pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota with a very special group of men. He always said it wasn’t about how many birds they got, it was the joy of watching the dogs work. Thank you all for making his last hunting trip so awesome. He loved you all very much.
