Ken was born on the family farm on the Alsace Road. He was the youngest of four children born to Kenneth Thomas Byers and Pearl Irenen (Loxton). He grew up and remained in the Alsace, Nipissing and Powassan area.
Ken worked with his father on the farm and enjoyed trapping with him. He carried on farming and raised beef cattle. He lived a life close to the earth and wasn't afraid of hard work. Ken was a skilled brick layer for many years.
One of his favourite sayings was, "Forget about it." In his spare time, he was busy hunting, fishing, trapping, snowmobiling, or just outside enjoying nature with his dog, "Peanuckle Joe."
If anyoine was ever to ask him for help, he was there for them. Kenny had a good heart but was rough around the edges.
