Mulder, Kenneth Wayne Jr., 52
Born March 11, 1957 in Tampa, FL
Died July 16, 2009
He leaves behind his wife Sarah, son Tyler, and daughter Laura. He was predeceased by his father Kenneth Mulder Sr. He also leaves behind his mother Rosalie Holland, sisters Penni Hees (Dan) and Julie Algood (Steve), brother Dave (Elaine), step-brother Richard Hickman, step-mother Sandra Mohler, and many nieces and nephews.
Ken loved life. He loved the water, fishing, water skiing, the beach, and hunting as well. But most of all he loved his kids with all his heart and soul. They were his pride and joy.
He was a 1975 graduate of Plant High School. After high school he joined the Navy where he learned the hydraulics trade on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN69). Immediately after leaving the Navy he went to work with Dresser Industries, moving from a repairman to Regional Manager for the airtool sales division during his 22 years with them.
A memorial service will be held at Palma Ceia United Methodist Church, 3723 W Bay to Bay Blvd (corner of S. Dale Mabry Hwy and Bay to Bay) Tampa, FL 33629, at 11:00am on Wed., July 22, 2009 with Dr. Kevin James presiding. A reception will follow immediately after the service in the Fellowship Hall.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you, take comfort in your family and friends.
Many prayers for all of Ken’s beloved. Ken and I were boyhood mates and he will be missed. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the service. Peace be to all.

Sara, I had so much fun growing up with you and Kenneth. I loved playing on the at the Mulders’ house, building forts, playing all sports, working in Mr. Mulders’ garden, jumping off the boat dock, even the tag team wrestling matches (Me and Kenneth against Jimmy and David). My thoughts are with you.
My deepest sympathy to the family and my support and love to Sarah, Tyler, and Laura.
With Ken’s passing we’ve lost a dear friend who brought much joy and laughter during our years together. I’ll always remember Ken as a generous soul with an amazing sense of humor. My deepest sympathies and condolences to Sarah and the rest of Ken’s family during this difficult time.

I have a lot of great memories growing up with the Mulder family. Kenneth was always such a charmer with a great personality. Penni and I laughed the other day reminiscing how we had to take our little brothers trick or treating when they were at Dale Mabry and we were at Coleman. It seems like yesterday. My prayers and love go out to all, especially Tyler & Laura.
Dear Sara,
I am very sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. May happy memories ease you in this time of pain.
Very sorry for your loss – Saray, Tyler and Laura, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sarah and family..so sorry to hear about Ken..what a smile and what a guy..I will always have such fond memeories. My love to you all.
Sara,
Kenneth was my best friend growing up. It was one adventure after another, endless hours of conversation, jokes, and hilarity. And then there was the money making ventures – Do you remember the lizard show? Ken had a huge, generous heart. He loved you and the kids, deeply.

My thoughts are with you and your family. Thank you for your note about the stick figures–even at a difficult time you are so thoughtful.
Dear Sarah, Tyler and Laura- We were so sorry to hear about your loss. Steven and Tyler always enjoyed their times, especially the sleepovers, with your family. They would like to send special thoughts to Tyler. Please call us at (850) 668-5206 if we can help in any way. We would really love to hear from you when you can. Love, Bob, Debbie, Steven and Tyler
Sarah and family we send our prayers knowing our Lord God will comfort you during this very difficult time. I have many fond memories of Ken growing up with us as part of the original “OmarDickens” neighborhood gang. Who can forget all the times in the Bay, canal, Sand Key, and other locations that don’t even exist anymore. He always made me laugh til I hurt, smile and appreciate every moment we had. He leaves a legacy and memories we will always cherish and count ourselves blessed for the privilege of knowing him. Trust in the Lord for he is the Way…the truth..and the Life! Ken is at peace and his memories will live me always!
Dear Mulder family,
Im very sorry to hear about the loss. Stay strong in God, I know you will. My prayers are with you. If you need anything let me know.
I have been an honorary member of the Mulder family for 40 years. I started out being friends with Julie and grew to become friends with all of them. I will never forget Kenneth and remember him liking the movie Blazing Saddle and he would recite it and we would howl with laughter. Sarah, you have such beautiful children and I feel that the service today was a lovely tribute for them to remember. My heartfelt condolances to the entire family.
My prayers are with the entire Mulder family. Ken’s joined his dad fishing off Boca Grande as the sun sets…
Dave and Elaine, very sorry to hear this sad news. My family is praying for you and your family. Ken was a great guy and served our Country which is something we are all thankful for. God Bless you all.
Kenneth will be missed very much by me and all of us who knew and loved him. He was my cousin and friend. God bless him and all of our family. May God look out for his wonderful wife Sarah and his two beautiful children Laura and Tyler. I will always be here for them to assist in any way I can. My prayers go out to his loving Mother Rosalie, his loving oldest sister Penny, his loving sister Julie and his loving brother David and all of their children as well as their spouses. I also would like to thank all of his friends that attended the service held in his memory. This is a time of great loss but I know Kenneth is in a better place.
Frank P. Mulder,
Loving Cousin to Kenneth,Penny,Julie and David and nephew to Rosalie
Dave & Elaine & family, Please accept our condolence concerning the loss of your brother. The Lord says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May your memories comfort you now and forever more. Kenneth left his mark. You & your family are in our prayers.
Sara, From grade school to high school, I can remember Ken’s kindness towards people. Ken was full of life with a great sense of humor. My deepest sympathy to yours and Ken’s entire family.
Sarah,Penni,Julie,and David,
I was deeply saddened to find

with you,talking about every-
one growing up on “The Fingers”. We had such great
times in that neighborhood:

Kenneth flying down the canal
in that little fliver. I could
go on and on, but Sarah,Julie,
Penni,&David please know my
thoughts and prayers are with
you all, always.
