Kenneth Lorne Humphrey, 70, died on September 25, 2021, in Glasgow, Montana. “Kenny” as his family and friends called him was born August 12, 1951. As a young boy, Ken’s mother, Doris, called him Kenner-babe. In 1957, his father, Lorne, moved the family from South Dakota to Valley County. Ken was the youngest of three siblings (sister Bonnie and brother Jim who lives in Sun City, Arizona.), “GHS class of 59”.
As a young adult, Kenny was found flat track motorcycle racing with friends who called him Benny (Benny the Bullet). He was in the first GHS class to graduate from the “new” high school, in 1970. Ken served in the Navy, (squadron VS – 41, Shamrocks) where he worked on injection seats of the S3 Viking jets.
He was known to cheer for the Vikings football team and to enjoy fishing. Additionally, Rock ‘n Roll with a slice of Waylon Jennings were always a big hit. Ken took great joy in Hot Rods and Harleys and was a member of the Road Angels Car Club. At that time friends called him “Ragged”.
Ken is survived by his forever friend and wife, Rose; two sons, Trent (Abby) of Big Timber, Montana and Tyler (Perlisha) of Lexington Park, Maryland; his grandchildren, Taylin, Trinlee, and Piper and stepsons, Troy, Dennis, and Brian.
As per Kenny’s wishes he has been cremated and no services are scheduled at this time. Condolences may be left for the family at bellmortuaryglasgow.com.

Thoughts and prayers to Rose and all of Kens family. I remember when I was a kid Ken helped out with aau wrestling, he never missed a practice or a meet. Ken will definitely be missed.
Jim Blazek says
Rose, Trent, Tyler, Jim – I am so sorry to learn of Kenny’s passing. I remember the day Kenny came to Glasgow and Loren began working for Dad. Loren was a pallbearer at Dad’s funeral. Kenny and I had many good times playing together growing up.
I remember one particular time, Kenny and I were playing at my house and saw Doris coming to take him home. We ran off and hid. Needless to say, neither Doris or my mother were very pleased with our little stunt.
God’s peace and blessings at this difficult time.

Kenny, thanks for all that you did for my dad this past year, especially in recent months. He considered you good friend. He needed those rides to just get away. I am glad we were able to meet each other, enjoyed the times you shared with me about Danny as a younger person. Kennys family we are sorry for your loss.
Barbara Sugg says
We were so sad to hear of Kenny’s passing.
Ernie has known Kenny for many, many years. I just saw him about 3 weeks ago and spoke to him about traveling to AZ to see his brother.
Again we are so sad at his passing.
