Kenneth (Ken) R. Edholm Sr., of Fort Wayne, IN, born September 26,1964 to Sidney A. "Bud" Edholm Jr. and Linda (Hines) Edholm, sadly passed away on November 25, 2023 in his home after a long, hard-fought battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family in front of a crackling fire watching the Notre Dame game. Ken was a larger than life personality who was always ready to have fun. He was kind, giving, loving, and made sure everyone he knew felt special and welcome. He was an avid Notre Dame fan and attended games or tailgated frequently. He loved spending time with his family at the lake on his boats or in his hot tub at home.

Ken is survived by his loving and dedicated wife, Donna J. (Williams) Edholm; his three adoring children, Kenny Edholm Jr. (Josh Edholm), Matt Edholm (Kelsey) and Sarah Selking (Stuart); as well as his greatest joys, his grandchildren, Katie, Abby, Karter, Beckett, and Olivia. He is also survived by his loving parents, Bud and Linda Edholm; his mother-in-law, Sharon (Marriott) Williams; his caring siblings, Debbie Lestinsky (Pete), Sidney A. "Buddy" Edholm III (Jeannie), Gary Edholm (Laura), as well as his dedicated nieces and nephews, many of whom were constantly at his side: Emily Horn (Mike), Taylor Boggs, Dan Lestinsky (Jessie), Leslie Lestinsky, Joshua Edholm (Briana), Brett Edholm (Beka), Sydney Maclure (Kenny), Gabe Boggs (Alyssa), Skylar Closson (Sloan), Sierra Edholm, Mason Edholm, Allen Edholm, Jacob Jimenez, Blair Edholm (Andrew), Allie Stephens, and Brianna Edholm.
