KEN SCHIFF, 65, 
passed away 
peacefully on 
May 25, 2022, 
surrounded by 
his loving family 
in his home in Tucson, Ariz.
Ken grew up in Southfield, 
where he built friendships 
in his neighborhood, school 
and work that stayed with 
him through his entire 
life. After graduating from 
Wayne State University, he 
spent the first half of his 
career in sales, accumulating 
stories and friends, criss-
crossing the state selling 
glasses for Luxottica. 
He later became a mort-
gage broker, eventually mov-
ing to Florida with his family 
in 2006. Ken moved back to 
Michigan in 2019 while wait-
ing for a kidney transplant; 
he was able to reconnect 
with his friends, family and 
community. He received 
his transplant in 2020 and 
moved to Tucson to start a 
new life in 2021.
Ken will be remembered 
for his “joie de vivre,” his 
ability to turn anything 
into a great story and how 
unapologetically he loved his 
family and friends.
Mr. Schiff is survived 
by his wife of 39 years, 
Marlynn, in Tucson; his 
31-year-old son, Alex in 
New York. He was the son of 
Marilyn and the late Edwin 
Schiff of West Bloomfield; a 
brother to Andra, Peri and 
Gayla; and an uncle, brother-
in-law, nephew and friend to 
many.
Ken’s family will hold a 
virtual Celebration of Life 
service on June 21, 2022, at 3 
p.m. EST. For access details
