Kenneth Benner Obituary

Obituary
Kenneth Lee Benner, 70, passed away Friday, December 23, 2022, at his home peacefully. He was born February 22, 1952, in Alliance, Ohio, son of the late Hugh and Pauline (Dallas) Benner. Kenneth was a 1970 graduate of West Branch High School and served in the National Guard. He was the owner/operator of Benner Trucking and Paving for 45 years. He was always in the garage working on his truck, keeping it maintained to the highest and was proud of the lights that would illuminate his truck at night. His greatest joy was teaching his grandkids the principals of life especially how to be a hard worker. He was also the proud owner of a rare 1970 Plymouth GTX.
