Kenneth Glen Kozimor

Kenneth Glen Kozimor, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 31, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on November 14, 1944, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to George and Agnes (Cichomski), Ken lived a life rooted in love, service, and devotion to his family, country, and faith.

Ken proudly served his country as a veteran of the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he dedicated his professional life to the field of energy research and conservation. He worked for Johns Hopkins in Maryland before concluding a distinguished career at The University of Maryland at Baltimore, where he specialized in energy research and conservation. His work made meaningful contributions to improving energy efficiency and sustainability.

Ken's life was marked by a deep love for his family and an unwavering faith in Jesus. He is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Carol Ann Kozimor(Murphy); his cherished children: Karen(Kozimor) and Rodney Clifford, Kim Kozimor, Kenneth Kozimor, and Christopher and Regina(Cook) Kozimor; his ten adored grandchildren ,and his 2 adored great-grandchildren . He is also survived by his brother George S. Kozimor and wife Nancy of Clark ,New Jersey, and niece Dr Michele Lee Kozimor along with many extended family members and friends who loved him dearly.

Ken was a man of boundless curiosity and creativity. When he wasn't working, you could often find him at his favorite place-Assateague Island-where the sand, sea, and sun brought him deep peace and joy. He had a natural gift for fixing things and was always immersed in his next "fix-it" project or bringing life to one of his watercolor paintings. But his greatest joy came from the time spent with his family, where his presence was a source of love, wisdom, and laughter. His hands were rarely idle, and his heart was always full.

Above all, Ken will be remembered for his warmth, kindness, and unwavering love. He was a true family man-Poppy to his grandchildren-always ready with a hug, a story, or a helping hand. He loved Jesus, his family, his country, and the simple joys of life. His legacy of love and service will continue to inspire all who knew him.

Though our hearts are heavy, we celebrate a life well-lived and a man deeply loved.

At a later date, a Funeral Mass will be held at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Poplar Springs, with burial to follow at the Maryland Veterans Cemetery in Crownsville.

You will always be loved and remembered, Poppy.
