Kenneth Germek, age 67, of Hebron, IN, passed away on Thursday, December 16, 2021.

Kenneth was preceded in death by his parents: George and Mary Germek.
Ken was a very loving husband, an amazing dad, and a fun-loving grandpa. He was always there if you needed his help and could fix anything. He really enjoyed taking camping trips with family and friends, and he always made everyone around him laugh. He was a great boat captain, really loved cars, and enjoyed playing the lottery (especially supporting the Knox VFW). Ken retired from BP in 2017 where he worked as an instrument electrician for over 30 years. Ken will truly be missed by those who knew and loved him.
Friends may visit with the family on Friday, February 11, 2022 from 10:00 AM until the time of memorial service at 12:00 PM at Geisen Funeral, Cremation & Reception Centre, 606 E. 113th Ave., Crown Point, IN 46307.

Many loving thoughts and prayers to Marilyn and my cousins, Daniel, Donna and Renee. Will miss my cousin Kenny very much. I remember his playful spirit when we were kids and what a gentle soul and gracious host he was in these last years when we were able to renew family bonds. The world seems an emptier place without him. May he rest in the peace of God's love.
