Born to Ken and Jackie Stiles in Portland Oregon on June 4, 1952. He grew up in the Glendale area with his older brother Dennis. He was also lucky to have his step sister and brother Carol and Donnie and his three half sisters Susan, Kathie, and Jennie in his life. Ken attended Glendale schools and graduated from Glendale High in 1971.

As a teenage, Ken worked at the Chevron Station at Foothill and Lowell in La Crescenta. Then at the age of 19, he began his thirty-three year career working for the City of Glendale. During his career he served many positions, was awarded numerous promotions, and in 1992 became the Facilities Maintenance Supervisor.

During his life he enjoyed dirt bike riding, off-roading, camping, and water skiing with family and friends. Over the years he enjoyed hundreds of vacations, outings, cruises, and dinners with his life long friends the Bruntons. More recently Ken became an avid golfer and weekend garage-sale-warrior with his buddy Kendall.

The accomplishment Ken was most proud of was the raising of his two beautiful daughters. He thoroughly enjoyed attending their many athletic events and volunteering his time at their schools and sporting associations.

He will thoroughly missed by his wife Erin, daughters Shelley and Jessie, and all of his extended family and friends.
