Kenneth Miner Obituary
Bennington, NH - Kenneth E. Miner, age 86, of Bennington, NH passed away peacefully on May 4, 2025 after a brief illness, surrounded by his loving family.
Ken was born on March 15, 1939 at Monadnock Community Hospital to the late Harold and Dora (Wingate) Miner of Antrim, NH. He attended Antrim schools (Class of 57) and served in the US Army from 1962-1967.
Ken's greatest joy in life was having coffee and donuts with his buddies, meeting at the Hillsboro Dunkin Donuts several times a week. He had a lifelong interest in classic cars, air shows, and a special love for his 1958 Harley Davidson he was known to ride back in his younger years. Ken enjoyed listening to country music and had a great respect and love for all animals. His deer, turkeys, birds and bears will miss him deeply.

Six grandchildren: Joshua Moreen and his wife Nicole (Whitney) Moreen, William Moreen, Elizabeth Moreen, Ashlee Bliss, Aaron Bliss, and Ben Bliss; two great grandchildren: Colter and Walker Moreen, brother and sister-in-law William and Sandra Cleary of Bennington, NH and many nieces and nephews from both sides.
Ken is predeceased by his loving wife of 60 years, Joyce L Miner who passed just 15 days prior. He was also predeceased by sisters, Marilyn Avery of Orlando, FL. Jeanette Rinehart of Middletown, IN, and Shirley McCallister of Pembroke, NH
