A driven and creative entrepreneur, Ken owned and operated Turnin' Point, a screw machine factory in Jackson. He also shared his knowledge and experience as an adjunct professor for many years before retiring.
Ken had a deep appreciation for life's pleasures. He enjoyed spending time on the golf course, attending gourmet dinners, and boating with friends and family.
He is survived by his sons, Nicholas Michael Zaggy and Gerald Wade Zaggy; grandchildren, Zachary and Hope Zaggy; siblings, Patricia Grant, Jeri Zaggy, Karla (Dr. Karl) Hamel, and Sharon Kingry; Nicholas's mother and Ken's dear friend, Wendy Zaggy; as well as many loving nieces and nephews.
