Passed away peacefully with family by his side at Huronview on May 2, 2026, at the age of 81. Loving husband of Mary (Broome) Scheerer for 58 years. Cherished dad of Pam and Dan Hodgins, and Greg Scheerer and Lisa Rhynard. Proud papa of Meredith, Austin, Madison, Ryan, and Connor. Dear brother-in-law of Tom and Rose Broome, and Jack and Marlene Broome. He will be fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews, as well as by his many friends. He will be deeply missed by his grand fur baby, Olive. Predeceased by his parents, Charlie and Hilda Scheerer, and by his sister and brother-in-law, Ruby and Cliff Querengesser.
Ken cherished time spent in the great outdoors, whether camping, hunting, or fishing, and found his greatest happiness in sharing these special moments with his children.
