It is with unbearable sadness that we share the unexpected passing of Ken Donner, a beloved husband, friend, and a bright light in the marine industry. At just 61 his life was taken far too soon, leaving behind a heartbroken family and a community struggling to understand how someone so full of hope and promise could be gone in an instant.

Ken was someone who loved deeply, lived life to the fullest, and made everyone around him smile. His absence leaves a hole in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him.

After years of hard work, Ken had finally reached the moment he had dreamed of. He had just launched his own marine finance company—an accomplishment that filled him with pride and excitement for the future. His passion for helping others navigate the boating world was unmatched, and he was known for treating every client like family.

But even greater than his professional achievements was the joy he found in his personal life. He loved his girls, Kelli and Katie dearly and adored his grandson, Dean. Ken had recently married the love of his life, Tammy Donner, the woman he often described as his best friend and greatest blessing. Together, they were building a life filled with adventure, laughter, and the kind of love people spend a lifetime searching for. He was the happiest he had ever been.

His passing has left a void that can never be filled. As his loved ones navigate this heart-breaking loss, we are asking for support to help ease the unexpected financial burden that comes with such a tragedy. Funds raised will go toward memorial expenses and supporting his grieving wife and two daughters.

We are deeply grateful for every donation, share, and message of support. Thank you for helping during this difficult time and helping to honor the memory of a man who gave so much, loved so deeply, and left this world far too soon.
