Kenneth went on to Northeastern Oklahoma University on a football scholarship, and then to Southwestern Oklahoma State University where he received his Bachelor's degree. He undertook his graduate studies in economics at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA. After moving to Florida, Kenneth opened a wholesale seafood business and eventually partnered with Pernell Williams to open District Healthcare in southern Florida. Kenneth was active in his community, supporting elementary sports teams and attending numerous youth sporting events in the area. He enjoyed conversation, especially about politics, and considered it a "competitive sport." The true passion for Ken Hopkins was his business; however, a rod & reel could usually be found in his truck. On a daily basis he shared his energy, dedication, enthusiasm, and generosity with those he encountered. Kenneth was close to his family and leaves a large gap in the family circle with his passing.
