| Published by Today's News Herald on Mar. 25, 2022 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - On Saturday, March 19, 2022, Kenneth James Freick passed away at the age of 71. Ken was born on Aug. 22, 1950, in Long Beach, California to parents Harold and Geraldine (Barr) Freick. He grew up with his three sisters (Barbara, Janet, and Susan) in Harbor City, California. He was a crew chief in the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States Army, serving in Vietnam from 1968 to 1971. Ken returned home from his military service and began working for Hughes Aircraft as an engineer. Throughout his 30+ year career, Ken also worked for Boeing, ultimately retiring from L3 Communications in 1995. Outside of being an engineer, he was an avid outdoorsman, hot rod enthusiast, and skilled craftsman. On April 5, 1975, he married Laura Robertson. They had three children, Sarah, Kelly, and Kenneth. Ken's number one priority in his life was his family and he cherished the time spent with them. The Freicks' summers were spent boating, camping, and making memories with family and friends. Ken was loved by all who met him and was regularly considered a second father due to his wonderful ability to give sound advice and make anyone feel like he was their number one fan. Ken was preceded in death by his father, Harold, his mother, Geraldine, and sister Susan. He is survived by his wife Laura, his daughters Sarah and Kelly (and husband Cameron), his son Kenneth II (and wife Amanda), and his three grandchildren Charlee, Kenneth III, and Kennedy. A celebration of life will be held in Lake Havasu City in late May. Details to follow. Ken Freick, our Papa, Dad, Big Freick, Pops, Sweetheart, will forever be remembered as the fun, intelligent, loving man that he was. Cheers to you, Ken. We miss you already.
