@MrHoss just hit me up on facebook and informed me of a post his wife did on his facebook page.
"T0 all the people I visit and friends far an near this is Carolyn Hill Ken's wife
... my husband passed away on the 17th of September 2020."
@1buckie You were an inspiration to so many especially during the early years of the WKC

RIP Ken. Very inspirational to me personally. His posts and cooks on kettles were one of a kind. Would have loved to have met him.

Yup. Sad news indeed my friend.....I really hated reading that. I learned more about bbq from that duder than any other single individual. And it was only via reading his posts here and at the bbq bretheren. Holy crap that man knew a lot.....probably as much as any 10 normal humans.....maybe more as many folks are flat out stupid. I knew Ken on facebook as well and he was a true individual......he knew members of the Grateful Dead and headed up their fan newpaper for years. His sense of humour was very sharp and sardonic. Gonna miss the old duder I am. Do yourselves a huge favour and look up some of his posts and use one or two his recipies and techniques.....the brick on top of the cooking grate to deflect heat and allowing proper air flow..........damn the man was a genius people.

I only chatted with him a few times via email. I've learned a few things and will be learning more from his posts. RIP Ken.
God bless Ken and his family. I wish I'd known him better.
RIP
@1buckie. We were lucky to have known you and learned from you. It didn't seem that long ago when we were ogling the first known Westerner on WKC, cooking turds, and eating watermelon cake. We'll miss you

Sad news indeed.
I never met Ken in person, but I loved seeing his cooks on here. I was just explaining to a friend Friday how to build a snake and told him beef burns clockwise and pork counterclockwise. He asked why, I told him because Buckie says so. That's all you need to know.

Buckie was an inspiration to me. Very kind and always helpful. he made a lasting impression on my life and I've only known him through the WKC. He has fed groups of over 100 on multiple 22" kettles. The man had skills. I have one of his recipes saved that I use frequently. I hope one day to be an inspiration like he is. RIP my friend.
Very sorry to hear of Ken passing away. He was always so helpful to anyone here and I enjoyed reading his posts. RIP
Definitely sad news in the club. An OG with many many friends across the country. I always loved Kens' posts. He was 1 of a kind and will be missed. Prayers for Ken and to his family. Smoke will be rolling tonite in Kens' honor, turds of course

SAD
Turds, Yes!
To this day I still make his sausage w/ BBQ sauce he used to pass around at the meetups
His use of the original Weber wok kept me on my toes using mine.
Thanks buckie
:(
he was a legend in the bbq world for sure

Truly sad news.
He was just down the road, but I never had the chance to meet him in person. I think I'll go deep fry a Tri-tip now.
Rest In Peace, Ken.

We have lost a true Legend... Not only in backyard BBQ,
but his unwavering kindness and generosity was second-to-none.
My condolences and commiserations to his friends and family.
May you Rest In Peace, my friend.
Condolences to his wife and family ..
Rest In Peace Ken Hill

My old neighbor AcrossFromHoss once made Ken's likeness out of a ground beef/sausage combo wrapped around stuffed jalapenos.............

AcrossFromHoss said of Ken that he was the "life" of this board.

That is so Ken, and he did have a way to keep us entertained and informed
RIP, and condolences to your family.

He could load up an 18" kettle and would challenge others to try to replicate it. I will miss you Ken!
And none of us could load up that kettle like Ken.
