BozemanLUG | Ken
Ken DykeUpdate: A memorial service for Ken was held in Helena on Friday November 2nd. 2915 Country Club Ave., Helena.
Ken passed away Monday morning, October 29th. Please read comments for more information. See also this comment from Ken's brother.
A comment was posted early Sunday morning to the BozemanLUG book section of this site. Please have a look.
Ken Dyke founded the BozemanLUG back in the Spring of 2001. He also frequently attended BillingsLUG meetings.
Ken moved to Helena in 2005 and started up a HelenaLUG... and continued to drive to Bozeman each month to host the BozemanLUG meetings until I moved to the Bozeman area (Sept. 2005) and he handed over the reigns of the BozemanLUG to me. He has been attending the BozemanLUG meetings on and off since moving to Helena.
New: Found some additional pictures from an old website of Ken's archived by the Wayback machine.

Judy, thank you for keeping us informed of Ken. As I mentioned to you already... Ken was a well received Linux Enthusiast not just in Montana but also for the Linux Community as a whole. He is surly going to be missed.
I will keep you and Ken's mother and brothers in my prayers. Thank you very much Judy for being there for him during these tough days.

I am sorry I didnt post more at my first posting. My name is Judy Thompson and I was Kens Significant Other. Ken passed away this morning(Monday) at 417. I know he had a lot of friends that I had never met thru this site, which is why I posted here. I am sorry, however I am still reeling from this. His mother made it here from Washington last night and 2 of his brothers should be here today sometime.
All arrangements are pending at this point.

Sorry to hear of Ken's passing. It is obviously a great loss for his family and loved ones... but also for the Linux community in Montana as Ken was indeed one of the most active and vocal members of our community. He will be greatly missed.
Please let us know when the funeral will be so that we can plan to attend... unless it ends up being out of state... in which case we'll certainly have our own get-together in his honor.
Given the sudden nature of is demise, if you or Ken's family needs any help with accessing his computer stuff, let us know.
Update: Just watched an episode of PBS Frontline last night entitled, "The Undertaking". I found it very helpful when dealing with the sudden death of a friend. You can see a preview for the episode as well as watch the entire thing here:
