Kenneth David Kerney
February 1, 1956 – January 5, 2023
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Kenneth David Kerney, more fondly known to most as KK. Ken passed away peacefully at Dryden Regional Health Centre surrounded by family at his side.
Survived by his wife Wendy, sisters Connie, Janice (Bob), Jill(Roger), Marsha (Ron), brother Keith (Jo-Anne). Also nieces and nephews Michelle, Angela, Jamie, Michael, Melissa and Matt. Predeceased by father Ken, mother Esther, father-in-law Garnet and mother-in-law Thelma, brother-in-law Jim, brother-in-law Bill and niece Shelly.
Ken was born and raised in Dryden and enjoyed hockey, baseball, and golf. He was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers, Boston Bruins, Edmonton Eskies and Montreal Expos. Among Kens passions was his love of music and he possessed a large classic vinyl collection. If you could name it, Ken would spin it.
He worked at the paper mill until his retirement on March 25th, 2017. When he was not at work he could often be found at “the office”. He will be sadly missed by his wife, family and many friends.
Celebration of Ken’s life will be at the Royal Canadian Legion on Thursday, January 12th, 2023 at 11am with Pastor Velma Henderson officiating and luncheon to follow.
If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the DRHC Palliative Care Department, PO Box 3003, Dryden, ON P8N 2Z6
