Born on November 25th, 1951 to Harold and Claire Soucie. He was born in Windsor, Ontario. Ken was the eighth born in a family of eleven children. Ken and his family grew up, just above the poverty level. Ken had to share his room with four other brothers.

The room was very small and had two sets of bunk-beds and one bed in the closet.

Throughout his childhood Ken had it rough. When he turned 16 he decided to move out. He justifies his early leaving as having to do it for the sake of his brothers and sisters.

Over a period of two months, the soldiers were subjected to less than four hours of sleep per night. In the morning they would have to get on over sixty pounds of gear and run over five miles.
