Ken was born in Plainview, Texas on September 6, 1942 to William Sinclair and Myrtle Sandefur Sinclair. He was raised in the Petersburg and Plainview communities and after graduating high school his father told him to drive to Abilene and see if he could get into school at Abilene Christian College. Ken did as his father said and was accepted to ACC where he began studying to become a missionary. While at ACC, Ken met the love of his life and partner in mission work, Estelle White Sinclair. They married after graduation and God led them to begin their mission work in 1967 in Southeast Asia.

Throughout his life Ken served others. Through his mission work, as a professor, as a church member at 11th and Willis and as a husband, father and grandfather, Ken put others needs before his own. His legacy of love and compassion will be felt for generations to come.

Surviving Ken are his wife Estelle, his son David Sinclair and wife Paula, his daughter Kyna Sinclair, a brother in law Joe McWhorter, a sister in law Direne Sinclair and five grandchildren that he adored Kendall "Dakota", Kendon, Ezra, Noah and Ivy. He was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters and a brother.
