Obituary of Ken Poole
Richard Kenneth Poole
Surrounded by family on Monday, November 11, 2024 at the Lakeridge Health Centre in Oshawa, at age 65. Beloved husband and cherished partner in life to Jeannine (nee Rensink) of Nestleton. Dear brother of Stephen Poole and his wife Debb. Dear brother-in-law to Jan Rensink and his wife Tracy, Stephen Rensink and his wife Nancy, Karin and her husband Wayne Lefler, Nick Rensink and his wife Juli Rensink, and Victoria Rensink. Ken loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God loved him from the very beginning. From his mother’s womb through those final hours. That is how God loves. That gave great joy and hope to Ken. Ken really enjoyed the fellowship he had with his Port Perry Baptist Church Family. He especially enjoyed and was blessed by the Thursday Morning Men’s Prayer Group. He cherished the personal relationships that came from being a part of that early morning prayer group where they learned more about their relationship and personal walk with Jesus Christ as well as the joy of lifting up friends, family, and community members before the Lord. The last five years of Ken’s life contained unique physical challenges. One of Ken’s favorite bible verses during this time was Romans 12:12.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
