Ken Mathis Sr., 84, raised in Kansas City, Kansas and resided in Texas City, Texas, passed away on July 25, 2026.

Born on March 25, 1942, Ken lived a full life rooted in hard work and deep love for his family. He worked for the Rock Island Railroad and Braniff Airlines before becoming self-employed at Rust and Dust Resale.

Above all, Ken cherished time with those closest to him. A warm-hearted and kind man, he found his greatest joy in life with his family—especially his beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Ken was preceded in death by his daughter, Susan Mathis, and his granddaughter, Julie Burgin.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 60 years, Diane Mathis; his daughter, Deneene Burgin; his son, Ken Mathis Jr.; his grandchildren, JD Burgin, Arron Mathis, and Courtney DelBosque; and his great-grandchildren, Callie Joy, Brynlee, Gavin, Beckett, Aubrey, Charlotte, and Silas.

He will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his quick-witted humor, and the happiness he found in the company of the people he loved most.
