Kenneth "Ken" R. Wymore, II, 75, of Cedar Falls, died Wednesday, September 24, 2025, of natural causes at MercyOne Medical Center in Waterloo. He was born on October 7, 1949, in West Union, the son of Kenneth R. and Elma (Weltz) Wymore. Ken graduated from Waterloo East High School and lived most of his life in Black Hawk County. He worked in Dispatch Management for Warren Transport in Waterloo for 37 years, retiring in 2015.

Ken was a lifelong volunteer for the Waterloo Community Playhouse/Black Hawk Children's Theatre, where he met his future wife, Ellie (Lampman) Intemann. Ken and Ellie were married at the Playhouse on July 27, 1985, and raised their children, Kristen, Jonathan and Jeremy Intemann. They also cared for and helped raise three foster children, Tyra Nelson, Tammy Houdek and Heather Anderson.
