KENNETH LARRY "Ken" CHADWICK was born on December 25, 1944 in Bismarck, ND to Lyle and Emma (Sippert) Chadwick. He was raised on the family farm near Freda, ND and attended Freda Grade School and Flasher High School. On July 11, 1964 he was united in marriage to Sarah Shimek and they made their home in Mandan, ND where their first son, Kenny Lyle was born. The family moved to the Minot area where their second son, Chad Allan was born.


In 1969, they moved to the Hettinger area where Ken worked at several jobs including the Darwin Rose farm, John Deere, Wagner Brothers, Inc. and Nelson West Side Service. In 1995 he joined his sons at Backyard Mechanics.


Ken enjoyed having coffee with the boys at C&N Café and riding his Honda Goldwing Motorcycle. He "semi-retired" in 2007 and was looking forward to spending more time taking motorcycle trips with Sarah.


Ken passed away at the St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, ND on February, 15, 2008, with his family at his side, due to complications following surgery for lung cancer.


Grateful for having shared in his life are his wife, Sarah, of Haynes, ND and their sons, Kenny (Stacy) Chadwick and Chad Chadwick; grandchildren, Dylan and Kayla Chadwick, all of Hettinger, ND; brothers, Wayne (Kathy) Chadwick, Brooten, MN, Les (Connie) Chadwick, Rosemont, MN, Gary (Joyce) Chadwick, Dan Chadwick, all of Mandan, ND and Larry Chadwick, Shields, ND and sister, DeLores Shimek, of Bismarck, ND.
