Kenneth C. Kopsell, 74, of Woodstock and Apache Junction, AZ, passed away peacefully on July 7, 2023, with his family by his side.
A 1967 graduate of Huntley High School, Ken was a proud Veteran, having served as an aircraft repair mechanic during the Vietnam War. Following that, Ken worked as a mechanic for Illinois Bell and earned his Associate’s Degree, before turning to farming full-time. He was an avid reader who stayed up nights to read anything he could find – including his daughters’ school books.

Ken is survived by his wife, Kris; daughters, Kari of McHenry, Kim (Chris) Strout of Charlotte, NC, and Kelli (Troy) Bunker of Mesa, AZ; sisters, Kathryn (Bob) Hendricks of Marengo and Nancy Ewing of Crystal Lake; numerous nieces and nephews; and six loving grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Eldoris Kopsell and sisters, Evelyn Kopsell and Joyce Oerkfitz.
