Kenneth Lee Ferguson

Kenneth Lee Ferguson, 71, went to be with the Lord, peacefully from his home, on February
5, 2026. He was preceded in death by his parents C.M. and Mary Elizabeth Ferguson. Ken is
survived by his family: Children, Shaundra (Jeremy) Lujan, Kevin (Collette) Ferguson, and
Cristal Ortega- and their mother, Janet Schuerman; grandchildren, Elauna (Michael)
Martinez, Gage (Lexie) Haman, Kodie Hannula, Kadence Lujan, James Ferguson, and Henry
Ferguson; great-grandchildren, Remy Martinez, Jeremy Haman, Sonny Martinez, Marley
Martinez, and Emma Martinez; his brother, Ron Ferguson, and family; and his many Shirley and
Ferguson cousins.
Ken was born in Pueblo, CO. on October 15, 1954. Ken spent his public education years on
the south side of Pueblo, graduating in the South High Colt class of 1973, where he later went
on to pursue his academic interests at several institutions of higher learning- Southern Colorado
State College (Pueblo, CO) and Baptist Bible College (Springfield, MO). Ken worked most of
his adult life for the Colorado Department of Corrections, from which he retired. He enjoyed the
outdoors, hunting and fishing, and later rediscovered his love for the game of golf in the
company of his sons and grandsons. He loved to garden, even attending classes at CSU-P to
be a Master Gardener.
Ken was selfless in his devotion to his family. Ken was always there to ensure his kids never
lacked a mentor for opportunities to improve themselves, such as serving as a youth soccer
coach, a Webelos Den Leader, or a facilitator for an Odyssey of the Mind team competition. He
was a constant presence, attending his children and grandchildren’s events and competitions as
they grew up as their biggest fan. He especially enjoyed watching over and caring for his
grandchildren and great-grandchildren; family-first was his motto.
