His death has left a deep sorrow in the hearts of his family, friends, and the community that knew him.
Kenneth was born on November 12, 1964, in Ogden, Utah, to the late Michael and Doris Spomer. He grew up in the small, close-knit community of Corinne, where he spent the entirety of his life. Throughout his years, Kenneth became known for his strong work ethic, his dedication to his family, and his unwavering generosity. A true pillar of his community, Kenneth was often the first to lend a helping hand to those in need.
As a proud member of the local farming community, Kenneth took immense pride in tending to the land he cherished. His deep knowledge of agriculture made him an invaluable asset to others in the area, always offering advice, support, and hands-on help.

His love for the land and the people who worked it was evident in everything he did. Whether it was maintaining his own farm or volunteering for various community events, Kenneth’s commitment to the farm community and his desire to help others were unparalleled.

There was something special about exploring the vast landscapes of his home state, finding peace and exhilaration in the adventure. His love for nature was not only evident in his hobbies but also in his everyday life, as he always took time to appreciate the beauty around him. Whether it was a quiet evening on the porch with family or a weekend spent off-roading with friends, Kenneth’s connection to the land was deep and meaningful.
Kenneth’s devotion to his family was the cornerstone of his life. He was a loving and supportive husband to his wife, Carol. Their marriage was a testament to love, mutual respect, and shared experiences. The two had built a life full of memories, and Kenneth always put his family first. Together, they raised three children, each of whom benefited from Kenneth’s wisdom, kindness, and sense of humor. He was always there for his children, whether it was to offer guidance or simply to listen. Kenneth’s unwavering love for his family extended to his role as a grandfather.
