Kenneth "Kenny" P. Duvall

A proud Navy veteran, Kenny retired after 35 years of dedicated service from Bluegrass Cooperage, where he worked as a boiler fireman and maintenance technician. He was an avid UK fan despite his wife’s affinity for U of L. He cherished life’s simple pleasures, such as camping and fixing things with his impressive tool collection.

Kenny found his greatest joy in spending time with his family, attending church, and being present for his grandchildren’s games and events. He loved making others laugh, always ready with a quick wit and a helping hand. A true friend to all, Kenny was known for his generosity and selflessness.

Kenny was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Gladys Duvall, and his beloved grandson, Chase Warren.

He is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Shelia Duvall, and his children: Tracy Birkhead (Lewis), Nikki Duvall, Eric Ford (Heather.) Stepchildren: Kim Warren Sandlin (Jeff), Joe Warren (Mary), Jessica Enyard (Michael), and Joshua Garrett (Janet). He also leaves behind his sister, Patricia Duvall, his nephew, Chris, and niece, Michelle, along with 21 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and his beloved dog, Willow.

Visitation will be held on Friday, December 6, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Arch L. Heady at Resthaven, 4400 Bardstown Rd., Louisville, KY 40218.

A Celebration of Kenny’s Life will take place on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 10:00 AM in the chapel at Arch L. Heady at Resthaven, with burial to follow at Resthaven Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or the Kentucky Humane Society in Kenny’s memory.
