Ken was born November 28, 1957, in Clinton, Iowa, the son of Alvin and Maxine (Huebner) Marburger. He attended East Central Community High School in Miles, Iowa, and graduated with the Class of 1977. Ken proudly served his country as a Sergeant in the United States Air Force from 1977 to 1981. On June 21, 2002, Ken married Lori Brundage in Davenport, Iowa.

Ken worked as a Sub Station Technician for Exelon in Cordova, Illinois, for 32 years, retiring in 2013. After he retired, Ken and Lori began wintering in Florida and Texas. He enjoyed Texas most of all, and was excited for their trip this year. Ken loved the outdoors, especially driving his John Deere tractor, cutting down trees, mowing grass, plowing snow, and making trails. After a long day working outside, Ken and Lori would ride the trails on their Gator and golf cart. At the end of the day, Ken valued spending time sitting around the campfire, telling stories with his family and friends.

Ken will be dearly missed by his wife, Lori; step-children, Jason Werner of Davenport, Iowa, Denise (Brian) Schimmers of Greenville, Wisconsin, and Deyenna (Carl) D’Ambrose of South Lebanon, Ohio; four step-grandchildren, Jake and Sam Schimmers, and Tyler and Nicole D’Ambrose; his parents, Alvin and Maxine Marburger of Sabula, Iowa; a brother, Ron (Sally) Marburger of Bryant, Iowa; a sister, Linda (Paul) Baker of Sabula, Iowa; and nephews, Joseph Marburger of Rowley, Iowa, Josh Marburger of Chicago, Illinois, and Tom (Sara) Leonard of Eldridge, Iowa.
