In memory of Tim Welker

Former Board Chair Tim Welker passed away in 2023. Tim was an invaluable member of the Kenneth King Board of Directors for more than twenty years. He not only dedicated his time and energy to the Foundation, but he also had a significant impact on the wider community through his involvement with various nonprofit organizations, including Goodwill Industries of Denver.

Tim was a mentor and friend to other directors and staff.

A graduate of Colorado State University, and a leader at Goodwill Industries of Denver for thirty plus years, Tim was a man of kindness and generosity. During Board meetings, he created an environment where each member had a voice and was heard.
