Kenneth Willard Behrend

Kenneth Willard Behrend, also known as Kenny, a cherished man known for his kind, loving, caring, and humorous personality, left us on August 22, 2024. Born on June 20, 1954, he lived a life filled with tremendous passion, loyalty, and service to others.

He is survived by his children, Kenneth Cody Behrend and Tuesdee Nicole Behrend and grandchildren Landon and Maxon Behrend Ford, whose lives were greatly enriched by his presence. His departure leaves an unfillable void in their lives, yet they find comfort in the memories and everlasting love they shared.

Kenny was an esteemed alumnus of Samuel High School, and was a shining example of how to think of others, a value that was central to his character. Whether you met him at the markets or heard him on the radio you saw his kindness, empathy, and capacity to bring joy through humor to those around him.

Kenneth Behrend, a beacon of kindness and love, will forever reside in our hearts. His legacy, exemplified by his love and compassion, will continue to inspire and guide us. As we grapple with the loss of his physical presence, we find solace in knowing that his spirit lives on through his examples and the love he instilled in us.
