Relatives remember visalia father who were killed in the motorcycle accident

Tular County, California (KFSN) – On street 68 near the Avenue 260 in Tular County, a small monument marks a tragic loss.

On Tuesday what started as a routine test trip ended with the loss of husband, father and friend Ken Flores.

His family made an explanation with Action News on Wednesday:

“He was our whole world. He was a committed husband and the most wonderful girl whom someone could ask for.”

Ken was 34 years old, an experienced motorcyclist and technician at Harley-Davidson in Visalia.

This was a test track that was only a few miles away from work.

“Anyone who drove south on street 68 and drove with a Harley Davidson-Glide for unknown reasons was off the road where they collided with the power mast and was excreted from the tri-glide and he was spoken out on site for the California Highway Patrol Officer Adrian Gonzalez.

His family describes Ken as selfless, passionate and a hard worker who never quits and never complains.

“His talents in the motorcycle community were over his years for years,” said his wife, “it would be impossible to forget such a wonderful person. We love you so much, always and forever, my love.”

Ken, a man who could light up a room by only smiling.

The California Highway Patrol still doesn't know what happened.

“We demand that if there are witnesses to call the Visalia CHP office,” explains Officer Gonzalez.

The California Highway Patrol says that it could be days if not longer before a report is completed. “

“Since we have more drivers out there and motorcycles or tri-glide vehicles, we only ask the drivers to turn caution and be a defensive driver,” says the officer Gonzalez.

In memory of Ken, the car dealership in which he worked on Wednesday.
