Kenneth L. Vesta age 88 of Lakeville, MN entered into the presence of his Saviour on February 6, 2023.
Ken was born in Dekalb, IL on May 24, 1934, as the 8th of 11 children. Ken was the son of a farmer, and he quickly learned the meaning of hard work. He attended Hillcrest Academy in Fergus Falls, MN, and graduated in 1952. While there he excelled at athletics and primarily in music where he was involved in many choirs and music groups.
In 1958 the family moved to Minneapolis, MN. Ken found work as a carpenter which he did with skill, working primarily as a house framer. He also engaged in lots of “side work” on nights and weekends to supplement the family income. At this time Ken and Sonja attended Ebenezer Lutheran Brethren Church in Minneapolis. They both enjoyed being in the church choir, and their love of music was a very important part of their lives.
In 1965 Ken and Sonja moved into a new house in Burnsville, MN, which was quite a change from living in south Minneapolis. At this time Ken moved into commercial construction, working for Inland Construction as well as Inland Development. He spent about 2 years working in Big Sky, Montana building condominiums and townhomes.
