Kenneth Hamilton Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Known for his fun and friendly personality, he always had a story or joke to share. He never met a stranger and made sure to talk to everyone he encountered. He served proudly in the United States Air Force, and after an Honorable Discharge he farmed the family land and owned an advertising agency. After he retired, he drove cars for a local dealership and Enterprise. Kenneth loved his family beyond measure. He is preceded in death by his parents, Glenn and Dorothy Hamilton. He is survived by his brother, Donald Hamilton, his love Connie Hamilton, and his sons Aaron Hamilton (Ronda), Anthony "Tony" Hamilton (Lindsay) and daughters Amy Hamilton, Anna Elliott (Jeremy). Additionally he is survived by his grandchildren Lauren Hamilton, Samuel "Sam" Hamilton, Elijah Hamilton (Courtney), Mikell Hamilton Thompson, Amiyah Hamilton Thompson, Jackson Trigg, Adrian Drees, Abraham Drees, Armstrong Drees, Atticus Drees, Lucy Hamilton and his great granddaughter, Remi Hamilton.
Ken requested that no large funeral service would be held; rather he wished for everyone to do something kind for others and to cherish the time we have together with our friends and loved ones.
A graveside service will be held on January 13, 2024 at 1pm in Saint Leo Cemetery located at 8035 SW 160 Ave in St. Leo, Kansas. Friends and family will then gather at Spike's Place 8225 SW 160 Ave, St. Leo, KS.

Being a west coast cousin we only got to know our mid west cousins all too briefly on our treasured summer visits to the family farm in Pratt. One of my fun memories with Kenny was some of us little cousins with our uncles jammed into a car to watch a movie at the drive-in theater in Pratt. Even as a little kid Kenny made us all laugh in this cramped car! I treasure this memory.

Ken and I worked together for several years at Enterprise as drivers and had a lot of fun together, he was always jovial and a jokester and a pleasure to know, rest in peace Ken.

I worked with Ken at Enterprise. He was a very outgoing and jovial person. Since he would talk to everyone, especially the ladies, we would her some jokes multiple times. Always fun

Mr. Hamilton would always wait to joke around with me on the days I delivered his mail. Definitely was the highlight of my day. I will miss our chats.
