MADISON - Kenneth F. “Ken” White, age 70, of Madison, passed away on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, at St. Mary's Hospital. He was born on Dec. 2, 1952, in Richland Center, the son of Everett and Ruby (Fry) White.

Ken worked as a journeyman for Perry-Judd's for over 20 years while also serving as a volunteer EMT for Marshall Fire and Rescue. Following Perry-Judd's, he worked as a shuttle driver for the Sheraton Hotel where he loved meeting and talking with new people.


Family was Ken’s priority and he loved spending time with them. He loved to go fishing with the grandkids and attending all their activities.

He is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives, friends; his beloved dog, Thelma and granddogs.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Everett and Ruby.

Ken was always a family man. We went to his girls favorite pizza place in Madison a lot. CHUCKY CHEESE. AND Ken always had a place for my family to sit and watch the Marshall Fireman's parade. Plus we were EMT's in Marshall. Ken, you will be missed.

Ken and I graduated high school together, but didn't become friends until college at the Richland campus. We had a lot of fun in those days driving to the Dells and Fennimore. Remember Tino's? It was a blessing to attend his and Becky's 40th wedding anniversary. I am very sorry he's gone. God bless you, Becky! Larry Beranek.
