He was born January 22, 1940, in Jasper, TN to Roy and Margie Rheal.

Ken worked at Lockheed Martin, where he retired with 27 years of service. While there he held several roles, some such as Electrical Development Mechanic, Supervisor, Manager, and so on.

Ken enjoyed spending time with his large family. Also enjoyed camping, riding his motorcycle, watching and attending Nascar races, Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Falcons, and Tennessee Volunteers. He was infatuated with automobiles, the classics both new and old. He always had at least one in his possession, and he sure would baby it. He will be greatly missed!
