Ken Jenkins was a kind, dedicated, and hardworking man who never hesitated to help those in need. He was well known within the Northumberland community for his acts of kindness and assistance with pruning and gardening.

Ken dedicated many years to feeding the animals and cleaning the grounds at The Big Apple. Kenneth George Jenkins, 74, of Colborne Ontario, passed at Northumberland hills Hospital on December 5th, 2025.
