June 30, 1962 – July 8, 2016


The death of Ken Lockinger of Humboldt, SK occurred at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, SK on Friday, July 8, 2016. He was 54 years of age. Ken was born to Judith Lockinger at Wadena, Saskatchewan on June 30, 1962. He grew up in Humboldt, and attended the Humboldt Collegiate. Following his school years, Ken married Arlene Stolz in 1981 and they were blessed with a son, Curtis. For over 20 years they enjoyed watching Curtis grow up. Ken enjoyed coaching Curtis in his sports activities such as hockey and baseball through the years. Ken did mechanical work for 10 years and then worked with various companies as a Sanitation Engineer for 30 years. He was recently promoted to Operations Manager with REACT Waste Management. After surviving cancer in his early 20’s, Ken maintained an active lifestyle of participating in hockey, baseball, and golf. He was active in the community as an announcer for the Broncos, a bingo caller for the Broncos and he sat on various hockey and golf committees. Ken was very well known in the Hockey Community after volunteering as a coach for 24 years. Some of his major achievements were provincial wide coaching with Sask First, and watching many players he coached make it to different stages, including the NHL. Ken enjoyed his many toys including his motorbike, golf cart, trailer, and most recently, his boat. Ken met Marilyn Hay in 2005 and together they forged an unbreakable love and friendship. They enjoyed golfing, hockey, and even a few trips driving to Las Vegas. Ken was well known for his witty sense of humour and always having a trick up his sleeve. Throughout all of his time, Ken seemed the happiest when he got the call that he was going to be a grandpa. Prior to his passing, Ken was able to spend time with his granddaughter Paice, and loved to show off pictures and talk about her to anyone who would listen. In Ken’s words, β€œI’ve been called a lot of names in my life, but Grandpa is my favorite.” Ken will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his mother, Judith Lockinger of Humboldt, SK; his son Curtis (Jane) Lockinger and their daughter Paice of Whitecourt AB; and his special friend Marilyn Hay of Humboldt, SK.
