(From Mason-Woodard Mortuary)Ken Comer, age 72, of Joplin, Missouri passed away peacefully Wednesday, February 25, 2026 at Freeman Health System after a long illness.
Ken was born in Joplin to Gordon and Treva Comer. After graduating from Diamond High School, he attended MSSU where he studied music. He married his high school sweetheart, Kathie, and they recently celebrated their 50th anniversary. Ken worked as an insurance adjuster his entire career for several companies until his retirement.
Ken enjoyed fishing at the creek, playing the drums, taking yearly family vacations, and doing puzzles. He loved to relay Emily’s dad jokes to friends and family and a good play on words. Ken enjoyed going to get lunch with his grandson Brhett at their favorite restaurants. He liked attending his kids’ and grandkids’ ball games.
He was a Baptist his whole life and more recently found great joy hosting weekly Bible studies and watching church services online. Before bedtime, you would find him reading the Bible in his recliner. He wanted nothing more than for his family to know the Lord.
