Serving as pallbearers will be Stephan Hargrave, Blake Landry, Korey Hargrave, Jimmy Herpin, Brian Britton and Randy Trahan.

Ken was a pilot by nature and by heart. He worked 40 plus years in the oilfield, but also flew for as many years receiving his private license in 1976 and his commercial license in 1989. Ken built Kenan Aviation from the ground up. The name was a mixture of his name and that of his son and daughter. They were the reason for the many take offs and landings in his life.

He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Belinda G. Hargrave; his children, Stephan Lee Hargrave and Katelyn Richelle Hargrave Landry and her husband, Blake; Ken lived his life for his grandchildren, Makynlie Audrey Mire "MK", Levi James Landry and Leighton James Landry; his mother, Leona Breaux (Wilmer); his sisters, Kathy Trahan (Randy), Carla Herpin (Jimmy), Kriesha Britton (Brian); his brother, Korey Hargrave (Heather); and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his father, Houise “Bud” Hargrave.

Loving donations may be made to Maltrait Memorial Catholic School in Ken’s memory.
