Kenneth Kelley II

Kenneth Kelley II, 67, of Loveland, Ohio, passed away on Monday, March 2, 2026, with family by his side. Known to family and friends as Pete or Petie, he was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was the son of the late Kenneth and Audrey (Meyer) Kelley. For a short time in the 1970s, he lived in Leaf River, Illinois, with his parents and sister, Theresa (Doug) Paul, before returning to the area and residing in Blue Ash and attending Sycamore High School.

Kenneth was the devoted husband of his late wife, Connie (Meeks) Kelley, and the loving father of Kenneth (Heather) Kelley III and Paul Virgil (Rosalie) Kelley, and loving stepfather of Steven (Heather) Albert. He was the proud grandfather of Kenneth Kelley IV and Corinne Kelley. A host of extended family members and friends remain to cherish his memory. Kenneth dedicated decades to the City of Blue Ash, where he worked faithfully in Facilities Maintenance. He will be remembered for his steady presence, his work ethic, the quiet kindness he showed to those around him, and a friendly smile. Kenneth was always one to be counted on at special events in Blue Ash, where if something needed doing, he made it happen. Kenneth's caring, loving, funny, and warm nature is deeply missed.
