Kenneth Ray Chadwell "The Gov," 78, of Woodville, died unexpectedly on Oct. 29, 2019.

He was a native of Tennessee and lived in Woodville for over 50 years. He had worked at many different jobs and could do most anything. He was employed with Leon Propane for many years. Governor was a mechanic and welder, and had worked in the coal mines and at one time a U.S. Marshal at the Florida State Capitol. When he went camping, all the neighborhood kids went along. His house was truly a home.
