Kenneth James Carrabou

Ken was born on November 1, 1967 in Detroit Lakes, he was the son of James and Mary (Chilton) Carrabou. As a child, he moved around quite a bit, but eventually the family settled in the Strawberry Lake area where he attended school in Callaway and later in Detroit Lakes. He met Gale Olson and they had three beautiful children; Heather, Karla & Nathan, who were his life, as he was for them. After school, he began working for Sellin Brother's where he worked for 35 years, he became a member of the Local 49ers Union and was able to retire last year. In his younger years, no matter what it was he loved to go fast, he was into hotrods and racing his Mach Z, he had the trophies to show, but it’s been said he won almost every race.

He was the most hardworking man and so generous, he would help anyone that needed anything. When he wasn’t working, he was having a cold beer always busy doing something outside around the yard. He enjoyed riding his four-wheeler, wherever it would take him. He could fix anything with just about nothing. He built his garage with the help of Robby, John, Nate, Charles & Brandon. He also bought a pickup, both of which he was so proud of, his pickup never spent much time outside and he always made sure it was kept clean.
