Van Buren, Maine - Kenneth R. Sirois, 71, passed away peacefully April 30, 2026, at his home with the beautiful background of the lake outside his window. He was born March 19, 1955, in Van Buren, ME, a son of the late Henry and Edna (Cyr) Sirois.

Following 30 years of electrical service, Ken retired to the lake. Ken was an avid fisherman and hunter and loved riding his wheeler around the lake.
