Kenny Bidlake

Kenneth Steven Bidlake, 20, of Missoula, Montana, passed away on December 1st, 2024, as the result of a motor vehicle accident. Most called him Kenny, a few called him Bubba, all of us called him friend. 

 Kenny was born April 14th, 2004 in Missoula, Montana to Mike and Kristi (Thompson) Bidlake. He joined his older sister Kami and completed his family of four.

Kenny loved to live life. He lived it to the fullest every time he walked out the door. He did everything with a mischievous grin, twinkle in his eye and that little giggle. His loved his family. He loved his friends who became family. He loved them hard. Kenny loved going fast. It didn’t matter if it was on a 4-wheeler, dirt bike, side-by-side, or a vehicle. He loved hunting, fishing and music. Rarely could he ever sit still. Most recently, his light was his niece, Hazel, who is shown in the videos and pictures he took with her.

Kenny is survived by his parents, Mike and Kristi Bidlake. His sister Kami Bidlake, her fiancé Cole Prater and their beautiful daughter Hazel. His paternal grandparents, Steve and Betty Bidlake, his uncle and aunt Brian and Erika Bidlake, his cousins Jack Bidlake and Quinn Pruitt. His great-grandmother Myrel Skinner. His cousin Shana Seubert and her family. His uncle Jeff Thompson and cousins Carter Thompson, and his family, and Carley Thompson, and her family. His special family Harvey Blake, Trent Daigle, and Gabi Casey. He is survived by all of his friends. Please remember him with love and laughter.

Kenny was preceded in death by too many, including his maternal grandparents Ken and Betty Thompson, his aunt Kendra Gould and several others including his special friends Braden and Rob. His welcoming party was far too big.

Kenny, you will be missed far more than you can imagine. We Love you.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial account has been set up at Trail West Bank.
