Kenneth J Piper

Kenneth J. Piper, 75, passed away suddenly on February 21, 2025, at his winter residence in Venice, Florida. Born on March 10, 1949, in Tichigan, Wisconsin, Kenneth-affectionately known as Kenny-was a man whose presence brought light and laughter to those around him. Kenny dedicated much of his career to General Electric, where he worked as a Production Associate. Outside of work, his true passion was music. A talented guitarist, he played in several bands throughout his life, with his most recent group being Last Chance. Music was not just a hobby for Kenny; it was a way of life that connected him with others and brought joy to many. He is survived by his loving wife of 17 years, Cathy (Hince); his sons Brandon (Barbara) Piper and Keith Piper (May); his brothers Ray Piper and Randy (Mary Jo) Piper and a loving friend he considered a brother Chuck (Rita) Reynolds; and his stepdaughters Angela (Randy) Nasr and Jessica (Edwin) Brazda. Kenny was also a proud grandfather to Blaise, Ava, and Stone, as well as step-grandfather to Ramzi, Amira, Noah, and Shiloh. And many other family and friends, including his fur companion, Bernie. He was predeceased by his ex-wife Susan, his son Todd, and his parents Charlie and Barbara. To know Kenny was to love him. His warmth and humor left an indelible mark on everyone he met. His family is deeply saddened by this sudden loss but takes comfort in the memories they shared with him and knowing he is in the loving arms of his Savior. A Celebration of Life will be held in the summer, with details to be announced at a later date.
