Kenneth Bonar Obituary
He was born July 21, 1951 in Akron, son of the late William E. Bonar and Lela S. (Pile) Bonar.
Kenny was a 1970 graduate of Caldwell High School. He retired from Mahle in Caldwell.
He was a member of the Stop 9 Church of Christ in Byesville.
Kenny enjoyed fishing, hunting, golfing, woodworking, gardening, camping, but mostly spending time with family.
He lived by his favorite saying: "Every day's a good day. Some are just better than others".
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brothers: Charles (Edith) Bonar, John Bonar, Robert (Peggy) Bonar, and Ray Bonar; his sister, Karen Mitchell; and his father-in-law, George Warner.
Kenny is survived by his wife, Audrey (Warner) Bonar, who he married on October 10, 1970; his son, Darren (Julie) Bonar; his grandchildren: Caden (Leigh) Bonar, Nathan (Hailey) Bonar, and Katelyn Bonar; his great-grandchildren: Henry, Colson, Lucy, Everleigh, and Alaina; his sisters-in-law, Kay Bonar and Ruth Bonar; his mother-in-law, Audrey Betty Warner; and several nieces & nephews.
Visitation will be held Saturday (February 14, 2026) from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Black-Epperson Funeral Home, Byesville, where funeral services will follow at 2 p.m. with his brother-in-law, George Warner, officiating.
Burial will be at a later date.
Kenny dearly loved children, so in lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial contributions be made to the Stop 9 Church of Christ Youth Group (60330 Southgate Road, Byesville OH 43723).
