He was the only child born to Gunnard and Kathryn Topholm. Ken graduated from White Pine High School in 1956.

Ken had many hobbies, including pheasant hunting with his buddies from Ely, fishing and camping with friends and family in the South Hills, Salmon Dam and Lake Alturas. His greatest passion was playing golf. Ken and Sandra played many Idaho State Couple Golf Tournaments, even winning the 1981 State Championship. Ken loved to travel to Arizona in the winter for many golf outings. He was an active member at the Pleasant Valley Golf Course in Kimberly, Idaho.
