Kenneth Odell Liermann

1951 - 2025

Kenneth Odell Liermann, known affectionately as Ken or Kenny, was born on September 21, 1951, in Orange, California. He was the eldest of seven children to Harry and Margaret Liermann and grew up in Tustin, CA, where he attended local elementary and middle schools before graduating from Fallbrook High School in 1969.

Ken proudly served his country in the U.S. Army from 1971 to 1973, spending time stationed overseas in Germany. After returning home, he built a full and memorable life in Fallbrook, CA.

He married MaryMae Parkinson on September 6, 1980. They raised their 3 kids, Donna, Justin, and Daniel in Mary's childhood home on Fallbrook Street - if you've been in town for a while, I'm sure you know exactly which house it is! If not, you've likely seen him around town with his pup Junior. There's few places in Fallbrook that you'll find someone that doesn't know, or at least recognize, Kenny.

He first worked as a landscaper for Ed Amon and later delivered newspapers for the Union Tribune and Blade Tribune, a job he and his wife Mary shared, faithfully delivering papers and “killing” cars along the way! Ken later served as a civil servant at Camp Pendleton, where he worked for the Marine Corps Community Services Landscaping Division. He spent 28 years there as a supervisor, committed to his work and choosing it over early retirement.

Ken had many talents and interests. He was skilled in automotive repair, a talented artist, and an avid collector of both new and old treasures. He was known for his humor, sharp witt, organizational skills, dedication, and deep love for his family.

Ken was preceded in death by his wife, MaryMae Parkinson Liermann; his sons, Justin and Daniel Liermann; and his brother, Brad Liermann.

He is survived by his siblings: Frances Wright of Pacifica, CA; Keith Liermann of Bouse, AZ; Kitty Liermann of Fallbrook, CA; Claudia Liermann Pannell of Murrieta, CA; and Grant Liermann of Winchester, CA. He is also survived by his daughter, Donna Marie Anthony Weidenhaupt of Eckert, CO, and grandson, Trevor Morel of Eckert, CO.

A memorial service will be held on September 27, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Berry-Bell & Hall Mortuary, 333 N. Vine St., Fallbrook, CA 92028. Military honors and burial will follow at Fallbrook Masonic Cemetery, 1177 Santa Margarita Drive, Fallbrook, CA. A reception will take place after the burial at Live Oak Park, 2746 Reche Road, Fallbrook, CA.

Kenny will be remembered as a hardworking man who found purpose in service and whose dedication and humor touched the lives of many.
