Ken-Ticachek

In Loving Memory

Tichacek, Kenneth (Ken) R.,

Tichacek, Kenneth (Ken) R., age 64 of St Louis, Missouri, was called home by our Lord Jesus Christ to join the Saints on the 3rd of April, 2020 following a brief illness. His wife, Kathy, was by his side. Ken was born in St. Louis, Missouri on January 5, 1956 to Raymond & Ruth Tichacek. He leaves behind a sister, Elizabeth Bilynskyj (Steve). Ken is predeceased by his parents, and a brother, Allen. Uncle Ken will be forever remembered by his 4 nieces & nephews.
On June 13, 1987, he was married to Kathy (Danielson) in St. Louis, Missouri. Ken and Kathy would have celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary on June 13, 2020, calling St. Louis their home for their entire life together. Ken worked with his Dad from age 18 at the Al Weinstock Company, transitioning the company to Tichacek Cutter & Drill Service upon his Dad’s passing, and ran the business with Kathy for over 23 years until his retirement in 2018.
Ken was an active member of Concord Baptist Church of St. Louis, MO and served his Lord and his Church in faithfulness and love for 62 years. Ken had a special place in his heart for the elderly and widowed and served them with much love and kindness. Among his many services, the Bus Ministry, Concord Men’s Construction Ministry and the Fine Arts Ministry were very important to Ken. He sang faithfully as a strong tenor in the Church Choir for many years, praising the Lord with every song he sang.
Ken was a lifelong member of the Windsor Lake Rod & Gun Club in Horine, Mo. He spent many hours enjoying the things he loved and the fellowship of friends and family. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing with friends, with Kathy or alone with God.
Ken enjoyed capturing nature through his love of photography, listening to the music of classical composers, and most of all taking walks and spending time with Kathy. He and Kathy prayed together, lived together, loved together, laughed together and made lovely memories whether working side by side or taking a vacation.
Ken was interred at Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Cemetery (Old) in Saint Louis (Tichacek section) on Tuesday, April 14, 2020.
A Celebration of Ken’s life is planned for SATURDAY, JULY 11, 2020. GREETING KATHY WILL BE FROM 10:00 – 11:00; SERVICE COMMENCING AT 11:00. Face masks and adherence to social distancing guidelines will be mandatory to attend the service according to current CDC guidelines for the area. The service is to be held at Concord Baptist Church located at 13775 Tesson Ferry Rd, Saint Louis, MO 63128.
Ken will be remembered as a Beloved Husband, Brother, Uncle and Friend to many. Ken’s love of God and his faithful service will forever be remembered by all those who knew him.
Please keep Kathy and family in your prayers. Kathy requests that in lieu of flowers, any memorials be directed to Autism Speaks by using the link(s) below (online or write a check). Ken and Kathy were faithful supporters and walked with Ryan’s Rappers every year.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers, love and friendship.

  5. Ken was the sweetest man. Met him through the Gun Club, many fond memories of pig roast that he and Kathy cooked and help organize. He had the patience of a saint teaching the girls to shoot during the gun shoot. My thoughts and prayers are with Kathy and family.
