Ken Blandford, 72, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on his 43rd wedding anniversary, Thursday, October 1, 2020.
Ken was a man of few words, but they showed off his quick wit. He enjoyed all sports but especially UK basketball and football. He was quietly a very generous man, often working behind the scenes and making gifts anonymously. He showed his love for
Christ to many men through his work with prison ministry through his actions and his love.
Ken was a 1966 graduate of DeSales High School, and a 1970 graduate of the University of Mississippi, where he excelled as a cross country and track runner. He also obtained his MBA at Bellarmine University.
Ken was a longtime member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church, where he started the Aldersgate Child Development Center. He was a member of Fern Creek Christian Church. He was also involved in the Louisville Emmaus and Residents
Enounter Christ communities, and the Bridge Aftercare Ministry.
Ken worked at Armor Elevator for many years, and then at the University of Louisville Small Business Development Center. His main career was as the owner of Child Care Partners in Jeffersonville, IN and Kids Klub in Florence, KY.
He was born on July 7, 1948 in Louisville, KY to the late William Harry Blandford and Margaret Kelty Blandford.
Ken is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Pat Blandford, children Holly Roberts (Steve), Matthew Blandford (Aly), grandchildren Tanner and Travis Roberts, Callie and Shelby Jane Blandford, siblings Carol Ford, Steven Blandford, Sheila Blandford, David Blandford, and Susan Diemer, as well as many nieces and nephews.
