They were members of St. Mary Magdalen Parish for many years before relocating to Palm Desert. His early career with Western Gear at the Everett Waterfront had him traveling the world repairing oil rigs and other heavy duty equipment. As the company changed ownership over the years, he remained dedicated and never left or retired from the company. He was faithful to the end and continued working for the same company, now called Control Flow/Wes Tech for 48 years until his passing. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bernie and Ruth Kempken; brother, Paul Kempken, sister-in-law, Karen Kempken; and several nieces and a nephew. He enjoyed hot rod cars, going to NASCAR races and local car shows with his three son's. He was a Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers fan to the end. He was a supportive family man and life partner to his wife, a proud father and a doting grandfather who lived a happy life filled with love and laughter. At his request there will be no services. | |
