Gerald Kenth Obituary
September 18, 1938 - April 17, 2025
RACINE - Gerald Lee Kenth, a lifelong resident of Racine, Wis., passed away peacefully on April 17, 2025, at the age of 86. He was born on September 18, 1938, the beloved son of Harold and Marie (nee: MacKnight) Kenth and stepson of Edward Gunderson.
Throughout his life, Gerald was known for his dedication to his family, personality, and sense of humor. He had a love of aviation which led him to build and fly model radio-controlled airplanes and later earn his private pilot's license. He loved playing tennis with his beloved wife, Caryl, who preceded him in death on February 22, 2020. He worked as a carpenter and later a construction superintendent, retiring from TriNorth Builders.
His life will forever be cherished in the lives of his sons, Christopher (Milwaukee, Wis.), Andrew and wife, Erin (Milwaukee, Wis.), Adam and wife, Cheryl (Elkhorn, Wis.); and five grandchildren, Jonah, Julia, Camille, Kaden and Connor; and a host of devoted nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
