Remembering Ken Pike

Friends and family of Kenneth “Ken” Pike turned out for a memorial service on September 7, 2024 at the Hiram Christian Church in Hiram, Ohio. Ken passed away at the age of 87 on June 22. Ken was a fixture in the Hiram community for many years. He was well known for his entrepreneurial spirit and philanthropic heart. Ken gave freely of his time, talents, and never-ending sense of humor. The memorial service was held in the magnificent church sanctuary. Reverend Chris McCreight officiated, and Anne Patella played the iconic church organ. Haze; Spence Peters gave the opening prayer. Dave Auble was the guest speaker, and Anne Peters White was the family speaker. Unfortunately Ken’s wife Damaris was unable to attend in person, however she was able to view the service via Zoom. I had the privilege of knowing Ken for many years, and was honored to attend the service and capture these photos.
