We're certain the equipment they're operating is green, Bailey's close by lending a hand, the yields are plentiful, and that Wilber and Kathryn are proudly overseeing it all. Ken was born March 2, 1942, in St. Edward, Nebraska, to Wilber E. and Kathryn A. (Koerber) Thomazin. He attended District 12 Big Cut's One-Room Country School, K-8th grade, only one mile from his boyhood home, and graduated from St. Edward High School in 1960. Ken would rise daily at 4:30 a.m. to do chores, attend school along with football or basketball practice, come home to do chores again, and study until bedtime. After high school, Ken attended Colorado State University on a full scholarship and graduated with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 1966. Ken was a member and President of the FarmHouse fraternity. On October 24, 1964, Ken was united in marriage to Elizabeth (Liz) Overton at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Fort Collins, Colorado. In 1967, Ken and Liz settled in Columbus, Nebraska to raise their family while building a private small/large animal veterinary practice where he mentored his close colleague Ethel (Babka) Pekarek and frequently brought along his children to do chores or on calls where he treated and cared for livestock in the local community. Ken and Liz later established a horse farm near Platte Center, Nebraska showing quarter horses with their children and breeding thoroughbred for the Nebraska horse racing circuit. In 1987, Ken and Liz moved to Las Flores Ranch in Summit Valley, California where he became the Broodmare Manager breeding and raising thoroughbreds alongside another dear colleague of his, Adelberto "Arnold" Almarez. In 1993, Ken and Liz moved to Sacramento, California where he became the Chief of Animal Health Food Safety Service for the California Department of Food and Agriculture. In 2005, Ken retired from veterinary medicine and moved with Liz to Renton, Washington. Ken adored nothing more than spending time with his children and grandchildren, working around the house, assisting with projects at his son's own veterinary practice, or simply playing cards and "shooting the moon". He became an avid golfer and developed a passion for photography taking pictures of old barns. He often reminisced about his parents and time spent growing up with his siblings on the family farm. After his mother passed in 1994, he traveled to Nebraska each year to help his brother harvest. Ken's family is honored to accompany him back to the place he loved during a time he so deeply revered - fall harvest. We're certain the equipment they're operating is green, Bailey's close by lending a hand, the yields are plentiful, and that Wilber and Kathryn are proudly overseeing it all.
