Kenneth E. (K.E.) Letterman was born on Jan. 6, 1945, in Corpus Christi, Texas, to the late Edward J. and Pauline Letterman.
Kenneth, known by many as "The Chief," passed away on Aug. 2, 2008, at the age of 63, doing what he loved to do, working at his produce stand, Cherokee Produce, and watching the cars go by.
Kenneth belonged to and was baptized in the First Christian Church of Willow Springs as a teen boy. He graduated from Willow Springs High School in 1963. He was involved in the FFA in high school and was an FFA Alumni President as an adult.
Kenneth was united in marriage to Linda McClellan on May 23, 1964, at the Pomona Christian Church. Kenneth and Linda had three children, Justan, Sarah and Jimmy.
He was a dozer operator and construction worker for many years. Kenneth was a mentor, not just to anyone, but to everyone who talked with him. He was always willing to listen and help out any way he could – he had a heart of gold.
Kenneth loved to garden, and loved spending time with his friends and family. He was deeply loved by those who knew him. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
Kenneth is survived by his wife, Linda Letterman; son Justan Letterman and fiancé, Pamela Copas and his children, Braxton and Baylee Letterman; daughter Sarah and her husband, Jim, and their children, Brandon, Jacob and Julie Turnbull; and son, Jimmy and his children, Kayla and Andrew Letterman. His two brothers, Edward Jr. and Matthew, and one sister, Callie Letterman, all of Willow Springs survive him.
Kenneth was laid to rest at the Willow Springs Cemetery under the direction of the Willow Springs Funeral Home on Aug. 5, 2008. Deacon John David Twist officiated.
Pallbearers were Justan Letterman, Jimmy Letterman, Jim Turnbull, Ted Stapp, Khoa Nguyen, Matthew Letterman, Andrew Letterman, Jacob Turnbull, Wayne Twist and Edward Jr. Letterman. Songs were by Linda Turner and Kate Bryce.
"In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you unto myself; that is where I am, there you may be also." – John 14:23
