On February 19, 2021, Kenneth C. Lux passed away peacefully due to complications from diabetes. He was surrounded by his beloved family. Ken was born in 1938 in St. Louis, Missouri, to Christian and Irene Lux. He was their fourth child and only son. He graduated from Cleveland High School in 1957 and went on to attend the University of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in Rolla, MO., where he received a degree in Civil Engineering. Upon graduating, he accepted a position with the State of California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) as a Civil Engineer in Marysville, CA. After working for a decade with Caltrans, he started his own company, Lux Engineering, with offices in both Yuba City and Colusa, until his retirement in 2010. Ken was a member of the California Society of Professional Engineers and The Rotary Club, where he served as President and received the Paul Harris Fellow award. He also served on the Sutter County Fair Board. Ken was an active member of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and a volunteer with the St. Andrews Presbyterian Food Pantry. During his retirement years he and his wife Penny enjoyed traveling the world with their friends and spending time with their family - especially his grandchildren who made him very proud. Ken is survived by Penny, his wife of 57 years, his son Mike (Adele), his daughter Kathleen (Gary) and his beloved grandchildren Samuel, Allison, Adeline, and Corbin; and his sister Irene Donnelly. He is preceded in death by his parents Christian and Irene Lux, his sisters Lavern Lux and Shirley Wilks. Funeral arrangements will be private. In Ken's memory, his family suggests supporting the St. Andrews Presbyterian Church Mother Hubbard's Cupboard Food Pantry in Yuba City, or a charity of your choice. Arrangements are under the direction of Ullrey Funeral Home.
