Kenneth "Ken" John Meyer


Kenneth
Kenneth John Meyer, 69, of Sturgeon Bay passed away at home on July 25, 2014, after a brave battle with cancer.

He is survived by his wife, Bonnie (Keller); son, Matthew, daughter, Michelle and her husband Eric Christensen; grandchildren Calvin and Claudia Meacham. He was preceded in death by his parents, Roland and Lorraine (Paschke) Meyer.

Ken was born June 12, 1945, in Sturgeon Bay, and graduated from Sturgeon Bay High School in 1963. He worked as a radio dispatcher & jailer for the Door County Sheriff's Department for 23 years, and was the founder and owner of Door Cablevision, the first cable television company in Northern Door County.

He was an active member of the Door County Amateur Radio Club, and the Door County Emergency Communication Committee. Ken was an avid hobbyist and collector, with far too many interests to list, but some of which included restoring old cars and military vehicles, homesteading, and hunting for bargains.

Visitation will be held at Huehns Funeral Home in Sturgeon Bay on Monday, July 28, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., with a service of remembrance at 6:30 p.m. and the Rev. Dr. Matthew R. Knapp officiating.

The family would like to express sincere appreciation to Dr. Winkler and Green Bay Oncology Staff for their knowledgeable and caring support over the past year, and to Unity Hospice for their timely and compassionate assistance in the last days of Ken's life.
