Funeral Costs & Support for Ken Pitcher’s Family

It is with a heavy heart that we must share the news of the passing of our beloved Father, Kenton Pitcher. Words cannot express the emptiness in our hearts and the pain of knowing that he is no longer here with us. 

Born on December 18, 1955 in Fallbrook, CA, he passed away unexpectedly on Friday morning, December 16th, 2022, just two days shy of his 67th Birthday. He is survived by his four children: Nathaniel, Kalene, Tynan, and Christian and their families as well as his brother Wayne, and sister Vicki.

Our Dad was everything to us. He was a loving husband to his late wife Edee, the best father anyone could ask for, an amazing Papa to his five grandkids, a wonderful Brother, and a genuinely good friend to all. We have decided as a family to scatter his ashes at Sea in the same place we said goodbye to our Mom almost 5 years ago. We will have some peace knowing that they will be together once again. 

Our Dad wasn’t a rich person financially, but would proudly tell you that he was “Rich in Family”, and we have to agree. Due to the unexpected and sudden nature of his passing, we are now left to face many challenges in the handling of his affairs. Unfortunately, he didn’t have much to leave behind. For this reason, we humbly ask for support in helping our family with the unanticipated financial burden of funeral and other expenses. We never imagined we would have to encounter such hardships so soon after our Mom’s passing. 

Our Dad, Tynan, and Christian lived together under one roof, and Christian worked side by side with our Dad at Pitcher Tile Company. In addition to the expenses already mentioned, we are also in need of help with continuing living expenses their household needs to operate during this period of transition. Our Dad, along with the family business, was a significant source of financial support for the household. With his passing, Christian will not only miss his father, but is left without a job, a best friend, a lunch buddy, and a work companion. The loss of the company, along with Dad, leaves both Tynan and Christian unable to support the existing home as it is on their own.

It is very difficult for us to ask for help, especially during Christmas. Whatever you can offer in support of our family and these expenses moving forward, will be sincerely and immensely appreciated. Please, keep our family in your prayers as we seek the strength to navigate this Christmas, the coming New Year, and the long journey ahead without him by our side.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are beyond grateful.
