Kenneth Louis Falkenhagen was born September 29, 1943 at Pierre, SD to Floyd William and Margaret Pauline (Brandt) Falkenhagen. He attended Agar School for 12 years where he was involved in chorus, glee club, track and basketball. He won many awards including the Donnie Naughton Memorial Award. Koky attended one and a half years at Huron College and returned home to take care of his parents and farm.
Kenny married the love of his life, Edith “Edie” Dianne Joachim on February 25, 1974 in Pierre, SD. They had six wonderful children.
He was active with the Agar community, always willing to assist a helping hand to anyone. He was involved with the Agar volunteer fire department, Agar City Council, Pioneer Seed, was a co-founder of the Friends of Fernando, and was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church.
Kenny will always be remembered as an easy, fun loving man. A man who loved his family more than words can say, a man who would always know how to put a smile on your face no matter the situation. A man who had a heart of gold and lived everyday like it was his last. He immensely enjoyed his grandchildren, dancing and traveling. The love of his life was farming!
Koky is survived by his wife, Edie of Agar; his children: Trixie (Shane) Hulm of Lemmon, Eric (Jen) Falkenhagen of Agar, Amber (Tim) Rasmussen of Rapid City, Chad Falkenhagen of Agar, Kyle Falkenhagen of Agar and Mindy Falkenhagen of Rapid City; and six grandchildren: Abbie & Zach Hulm, Cooper Falkenhagen and Ryder, Colby and Tyson Falkenhagen.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one half brother, Victor Boyd Jones; and numerous cousins.
In lieu of flowers, direct memorials to the Kenny Falkenhagen Memorial Fund at BankWest, Onida.
Luce Funeral Home of Gettysburg has been entrusted with Koky’s arrangements.

Eric and family, sorry to hear of the loss of your father. our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I’m so sorry for your loss and pain. It meant a lot to Robin, Mark and myself to have Kenny and Eric at my Dads service a couple of years ago. I won’t be able to return that support in person and I am truly sorry for that. You and all of his friends are the lucky ones for having him in your lives for as long as you did. I only met him briefly but what a cool guy. I’m so very sorry again.
We are so sorry for your loss.
Amber and family,
My heart hurts for you. Know we are thinking of you.

To The Entire Family, We will all miss him so much. He was such an amazing fun loving guy. Besides from Don Griese (My grandpa) who died when I was 5 Uncle Kenny was the closest person I had for a Grandfather. He always made everyone laugh and he knew just how to brighten someones day. I know how much he will be missed and I know that we all love him to death and I’m happy he can be in a better place, and is watching over all of us. I love you all so much. I am sorry for the loss everyone shared..
