On September 16, 2023 at age 68, Ken passed away peacefully in his sleep next to his wife. Predeceased by his parents, George & Evelyn Strickland; mother & father-in-law, William & Mary Ellen Rowley; brother William A. Strickland and brother-in-law, William E. Rowley.

He is survived by his loving wife, Kathleen Strickland (Rowley); sons, Trevor W. (Theresa), Jason G., & Cameron K. (Sarah) Strickland; sisters, Heather and Cheryl Strickland; brother-in-law, David (Cathie) Rowley; sister-in-laws, Maryanne Rowley and Susan Cafferty; niece and nephews Kellen Rowley, Michael Rowley, Thomas Strickland, David Rowley and Jaclyn Rowley.

He graduated from Alfred University with a BA in Business. He went on to have a fulfilling and distinguished career in the flooring industry. His travels took him all over the East Coast and New England, where he met many people he enjoyed and whose lives he touched.

As a father, and a former Eagle Scout himself, Ken was very involved in the lives of his sons as they grew up through scouting, little league, church memberships, and school athletics.

Ken loved his pontoon boat, “The African Queen.” He made many special memories at Conesus Lake.

His family and friends were most important to Kenny, and a hole is now in our hearts.

The family will receive friends prior to the service from 12:30 – 1:45 PM.  A celebration of life will be celebrated following the memorial service, details to be announced.
