Kenneth L. Fogle passed peacefully on the Sinkin’ Bull Ranch surrounded by his family on March 25, 2021. Kenney was born May 19,1925 to Dina (Nergaard) and Ezra Fogle in a dugout on the family ranch. Kenney grew up alongside sister Irene (Bud) Adams; brothers, Vernon (Eileen), Earnest (Almedia), and Gale (Margret).
Kenney attended all schooling in Jordan, MT graduating in 1943. Kenney worked for several local ranchers and met his beloved, Alice Nordahl at a dance in Jordan. The two were united in marriage on May 25, 1947. To this union were born Reuben, Marlene, Marva, and Roger. March of 1969, Kenney and Alice purchased the Fogle family ranch where they raised kids, cattle and grain.
Kenney was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, 4-H leader, long time fair board member, stock inspector. Kenney would never turn down the opportunity to lend a hand, never spoke a bad word about anyone and would be the first to give the shirt off his back. There was never a moment when grandchildren and great-grandchildren were present that Kenney was not heckling them.
Kenney is survived by loving wife of 73 years, Alice; sons, Reuben and Roger; grandchildren Crystal (Jason) Hutson, Dina (Dennis) Kuchynka, Denim (Robin) Fogle, Josh Fogle, and Howard (Alyssa) Shawver. Kenney was so proud of his kids, grandkids, and especially his great-grandkids; Kaitlyn Hutson, Alyssa Hutson, Jessica Hanson, Tony Kuchynka, Kimber Kuchynka, Kenney Kuchynka, Macy Fogle, Libby Fogle, Connor Fogle, Chase Fogle, Logan, Fogle, Aaron Fogle, Evan Fogle, Raymond Shawver, and Rori Shawver; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Kenney was preceded in death by parents; children Marva Fogle, Marlene Shawver, baby boy Fogle, and baby girl Fogle; sister, Irene Adams; and brothers Buzz, Tubb, and Gale Fogle; and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family would like to give special thanks to Ernie and Sandy Fogle, both of which made it possible for Kenney to live out his last days in his home at the ranch. Desired memorials can be made in Kenney’s name to Jordan Ambulance Service, Garfield County Health Center, or the charity of ones choosing.

Donovan Currey says
Alice and Family,
May you have God’s peace and grace during this loss. I will always remember the wonderful times I had staying with you folks as I was growing up. Yes, Kenny was one to provide a good heckling but I always knew it was just his way of showing he cared and it always turned into a warm discussion about “how I was doing”. He was an amazing, caring person and I am sure God and Kenny have already discussed the location for his crops and cattle, in Heaven.
Peace
