Kenneth Andrew Bullied
On Friday, November 7th, 2025 our beloved father, Kenneth Andrew Bullied passed away at 84 years young. Ken passed peacefully at home with family surrounding him.
He was predeceased by his cherished wife of 55 years, Carol; parents, Jarvis and Vera Bullied; sister and brother-in-law, Teresa and Marsh McLeod; and brother, Travis Bullied. He leaves behind siblings: Larry Quidding, Robert Bullied, Richard (Dorothy) Bullied, Janet Bullied, Harold Bullied, and Margaret (Greg) VanAlstine. Ken will be lovingly remembered by his children: Kim Ambrose (Jeff), Deb Flegel (Dom), and Nicole Ricard (Maurice); grandchildren: Dorian Ross, Brittany and Bryan Krauss, Ken and Madison Ambrose, Matthew Flegel, Adam and Junea Flegel, Justin Ricard, and Samantha Ricard.
Ken was born in Saskatoon, SK, and then raised on the family farm near Crestwynd and in Moose Jaw, SK. Ken met the love of his life in Moose Jaw and married Carol (née: St. John) in 1965. Ken dedicated his life to Carol – living, loving and working together – unbreakable soul mates. After Carol’s passing in 2020, Ken remained dedicated, demonstrating their love, caring daily for her resting place and their home. Together they raised 3 daughters, moving through 5 cities – 17 moves in all. They made every home their dream home and filled all with love.
Ken was an incredibly hard worker. He started his career in the automotive industry working for Bowman Brothers. He moved on to Firestone, MJ Dam, and Great West Tire. In 1979, Ken and Carol decided to venture into building their own business. Together they established Centennial Tire Centre which would provide for their family and serve the community for over 30 years. Ken would often be heard whistling while he worked doing what he loved.
Ken was completely dedicated to Carol and loved his girls. When life expanded the family, his heart took in the three husbands and seven grandchildren with their spouses. Ken was always patient, supportive and kind with his family. Grandpa was always teasing and taught his family to tease the ones you love!
Ken’s first hobby was tinkering and taking anything apart to repair. He definitely had skills! He could be a mechanic, carpenter, plumber, drywaller, welder – you name it. Ken enjoyed driving, reading, playing cards, computer games, watching Blue Jays baseball, puzzling, gardening, and feeding the neighborhood birds. Ken loved to travel with Carol. They went on seven cruises in different parts of the world, travelled to Hawaii, Cuba and the Caribbean islands. They also loved camping and stayed in every park in Saskatchewan, many in Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, and several US states!
After Carol passed, Ken never said the word “goodbye”, it was always “Bye for now”. So here is a final “Bye for now” and “Take care” from him.
On behalf of the family and Dad, we would like to thank Dr Karissa Brabant and Home Care for all the wonderful care and support.
The Funeral Service will be held on Friday, November 14th, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at Moose Jaw Funeral Home.

Kim, Deb and Nicole,
I am so sorry to hear about uncle Ken.
I hadn’t seen him in a long while but I will always remember his quiet presence when visiting Canada and his smirky smile and laughing eyes when he was about to pull something on someone.
He finally gets to see his beloved Carol again- which I am sure he’s very happy about.
Sending my love,
Natly
We could use a few more good people like Ken
Thinking of your families in your time of loss. And praying that God
Will give you His comfort and strength, to carry you through these
difficult days.
With Sympathy and Caring

Most heartfelt condolences to all Ken’s family and the Bullied sisters and brothers. We done business with Ken at the tire shop. We farmed south of the Bullied homestead at the town of Dunkirk (south of Crestwynd) may he rest in peace. The Lynds Brothers.
So sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences.
I remember Ken from classes at Tech and the automotive world.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Ken played ball with my brothers. The team would come to
Mom and Dad’s if they played in a tournament nearby. Mom would feed them all. lol
Remember all the fun times.
Thinking of all of you
Condolences the whole family and his friends! Ken was a great guy and always willing to give great service and respect to all his cutomers and family .
Our sincere sympathy to the Bullied family.

Deb, Kim, Nicole and Families. Our deepest condolences. We are so sorry for your loss.
My condolences to Deb, Kim, Nicole and families
Sending hugs to you all. Uncle Kenny had such a big heart. I still remember snuggling in the living room chair with him when I was young and listening to his deep voice. I wish I had seen him more in my adult years after I moved away. He was loved by all and will be dearly missed. Although I can’t make it to his service I hope you know I’m thinking of you all. Sending much love and hugs!!!
Kim, Deb, Nicole & families – so sorry to hear of your Dad’s/Grandpa’s passing. Your Mom & him were kind, friendly, & reliable neighbours to us. The house next door to us will always remain “theirs” to us.
What a lovely service, wonderful stories & pictures about a life well lived & always remembered. It’s nice to see all the pictures of the happy family times all of you spent with him.
Thinking of you as you say “bye for now” as you lay your Dad/Grandpa to rest.

Sorry for your loss we were out of town. He was a great guy enjoyed trap shooting with him in crestyned
To Deb, Kim, Nicole and families. Please accept my sincerest condolences. I have known your Dad, for a good many years and always enjoyed each and every meeting. Centennial Tire became my automotive repair shop of choice. As an aside, a many years ago I was in St. Johns, Newfoundland and met chap who had run into serious tire problems out on #1 highway. A Moose Jaw-ite and I am sure Centennial Tire came to his rescue. He couldn’t say enough good things about Moose Jaw.
As you well know you were gifted with a good human being.
Sincerely, David Halstead
