Kenneth DAMON Obituary

DAMON, Kenneth Lew

Kenneth Lew Damon, born June 4th, 1957, to Sara Crabb Damon and Jack Almon

Damon, passed away on Good Friday, April 15, 2022. He resided in Miamisburg, Ohio, and is survived by his wife of 41 years, Jennifer, his sisters Amy and Janice, his daughter Julia, his sons Kyle and Joel, his daughter-in-law Nicole, his grandchildren, Jack, Skyler, Anemone, and his granddog Molly. Ken received his Bachelor of Science in psychology and religion from Mount Union

University (13 time football national champions!) and his

Master of Divinity from Gordon Conwell Seminary. He was a pastor at First Baptist Church of Bucyrus, Ohio for 10 years and the pastor of Shroyer Road Baptist Church for 25 years before retiring in January of 2020. He was winner of the Harry

Manning award from American Baptist Churches for distinguished service. He was a lifelong learner and an avid reader. He had a perfectly-timed sense of humor. He had a zest for life, playing with electronic helicopters and nerf guns up until the day he passed. He LOVED food. He maintained a beautiful garden with his wife and kept a yard full of beautiful birds. He was a music buff, with an eclectic playlist for every occasion. He had a passion for social justice and fighting for those whose voices are often unheard. His empathy was palpable in every interaction. Most of all, he was devoted to serving God through loving every person he came across. He was a man of patience and authenticity, loving his family and humanity without limitations or judgment. Humility and humor remain his legacy through the thousands of souls he impacted. To have known him was to have glimpsed God's love. He will be deeply missed and remembered with the purest gratitude.

Calling hours will be held at Tobias Funeral Home, 5471 Far Hills Ave., on Wednesday from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. The funeral will be held on Thursday at 11:00 at the funeral home.

One of the things I had enjoyed most with Ken, was sitting in my office talking about Jesus. We had many joy filled conversations about our Lord. We would end up worshiping before we knew it! It was so much fun.
Ken liked to laugh, it was contagious at times. I imagine he´s full of glory filled laughter now, busting at the seems with joy in the presence of his Lord and King! What a beautiful comfort that is.
Tim liked the way Ken prayed. Our hearts are saddened for the loss and suffering of his family. You are loved & will be in our prayers. May God give you the comfort that only He can provide, and ease your anguish.

Pastor Ken was one of the kindest, caring, and compassionate man I have ever been blessed to have known. He baptized me and help mold me into the man and father I am today. His ability to not only see past, but to accept people for who they are has enabled me to look past many preconceptions and find meaningful relationships with others I never thought possible. He will truly be missed, but his impact will carry on though out my life.

It was my honor and privilege to serve with Ken as worship leader. His love for the Lord touched everything he came in contact with. I am thankful I was able to witness the wonder of it all. Though absent now from the body, what a joy to know that Ken is walking in the presence of the Lord Jesus. May the Lord give peace to the family and friends knowing that this is not truly the end, but just a part of a greater, everlasting beginning. Even so, come Lord Jesus!

To my loving family, the lost of a great husband and father is unbearable. Please know you are all in my prayers and on my mind everyday. It is simply a great loss of great man. I am so glad God is holding him in his magnificent arms. Ken and Chris (my devoted husband) are walking together now have the best intellectual conversations forever. Please know I am here for all of you. Love you all very much.

Pastor Ken was our family. He married and renewed vows for me, my parents, my cousin. Led my husband to God and baptized him and my daughters. He was there for every happy event or sad event in our family right along with us. Counseled us, taught us, loved us. His wife and children will forever be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. I do know however, that Pastor Ken has reached his goal in life. To be in heaven with our Father. Praise Jesus. We love you all.
