Kenneth Crow of Pomona, Missouri passed away quietly in the evening of July 5th, 2024, at age seventy-three.
Known to his family and friends as Ken, he was born to Dave and Allene Crow on September 12, 1950, and grew up in West Plains, Missouri. He graduated from West Plains High School and went on to attend Southwest Missouri State where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree. After a short career as a salesman, Ken started his own business, Howell County Termite Company, and began a long career as it's owner and operator. Along with his father Dave, Ken also operated a family cattle farm in Pomona. Ken eventually retired from his career as a small businessman but maintained the cattle farm until his death. Ken married his wife Irene Crow and they settled on their farm in Pomona, Missouri. Together they shared a fun loving and joyful approach to life until Irene's untimely death. An avid hunter and fisherman, Ken enjoyed hunting seasons and spent time at lake Norfolk where he boated, swam and fished. Yet as much as Ken relished his time in these pursuits, for Ken the true joy of conservation sports lay in swapping stories about hunting and fishing with family and friends. Tales about hunting and fishing trips, be they successes or failures, were touchstones in his life that he savored again and again with those who knew him.
