Oliver Kenneth Warden, 79, a resident of San Lorenzo, NM, entered eternal rest Sunday, November 4, 2012 at his residence.

He was born October 9, 1933 to Oliver Davis Warden and Rosa May Wirth Warden in Wirth, AR. Kens greatest Loves and Joys of his life, were tied into his toys. His Motor Coach Touring days carried him and his guests through much of the US. He was a great people person, loved to travel and enjoy and learn about new places and people. When he retired we explored many parts of the US in our truck and fifth wheel trailer. Mid life found him spending many hours racing and sailing his 22 foot sailboat. In his later years he took up his life long love of flying. His plane, an Ercoupe, The White Dove, will remain in our hearts forever. The last part of his great journey of life he enjoyed playing 8-ball pool with his friends. Oliver was a past Master of the Fort Lupton Masonic Lodge, Colorado where he was a Member for 50+ years.

He is survived by his loving wife of 15 yrs. Elaine M.
