Kenneth Custer Obituary
Kenneth Lynn Custer, of Warren, Michigan, passed away on May 29, 2025, at the age of 68 at Henry Ford Hospital.
A devoted family man, Kenneth's greatest joy came from staying closely connected with his loved ones. He cherished his daily conversations with family, always putting them first in his heart and life.
Kenneth dedicated over 30 years of hard work to Uni Bond Brakes, specializing in machine repairs until his well-earned retirement. Outside of work, he was a man of many passions. He had a deep love for chess, which he played with quiet intensity and strategy. But it was his time on the open road riding his beloved Honda Goldwing alongside friends that brought him some of his happiest moments. Kenneth was also a skilled leatherworker, taking great pride in creating pieces with his hands and heart.
He is survived by his loving son, Jesse (Lavina) Custer; his cherished grandson, Damon; and his siblings, Sue (Leonard) JaJe, Dennis Custer, and Bob Custer. Kenneth was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Marsha, and his parents.
Though his absence leaves a profound void, Kenneth's family finds peace in knowing he is reunited with his beloved Marsha. His quiet strength, warm spirit, and unwavering love for those around him will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
