On May 17, Kenneth A. Koelln, 78, was called home to the Kingdom of God to meet his Savior, where he joined his beloved wife and loved ones. Ken proudly served his country for 20 years in the USMC. He was a purple heart recipient from combat in the Vietnam War where he served two tours. Following his service, he completed his PhD in economics at the University of Florida, then went on to become a tenured professor at the University of North Texas until he retired. He loved the Florida Gators, Texas Rangers, and chocolate.
