Kenneth Wayne Roberts, 85

Toledo, OH - Louisville, KY

Kenneth Wayne Roberts, 85, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2025. Born in Toledo, Ohio, Ken lived a full and meaningful life marked by hard work, deep love for his family, and a clean car.

Ken dedicated much of his career to Champion Spark Plug in Toledo, Ohio, where he was known for his strong work ethic. After "retirement," he enjoyed the fruits of his labor through time spent on the golf course, sharing laughs with his buddies at McDonald's, and indulging in his well-known sweet tooth - all while volunteering and working at various other jobs to stay busy.

He is survived by his loving daughters, Jill Melia (Kurt) and Jennifer Brown. He was a proud grandfather to Carly Morris, Molly Melia, Emma Melia, Haley Schluessler, Lexi McClanahan, Meaghan Mick, and Sean Mick, and a cherished great-grandfather to Brinley, Haven, and Jaxx Schluessler, and Jackson Morris. He also leaves behind his devoted partner, Suzanne Mosley, who brought him joy and companionship in his later years.

Ken is preceded in death by his parents, Lester and Ruth Roberts; his brother, Frederick Roberts; and his beloved great-grandson, Maxxen Schluessler.

Ken will be remembered for his kindness, humor, love for his family, and the friendships he cultivated throughout his life. He lived with a genuine appreciation for life's simple pleasures and shared that joy with those lucky enough to know him.

The family held a small dinner in his honor, but no services are planned at this time.
