Kenneth Kuhn Obituary
Born in Hugheston, W.Va., Kenneth has gone home to be with the Lord.
A former coal miner, Kenneth knew the meaning of hard work and lived a life defined by grit, grace and deep love for his family. He found joy in the simple things: morning coffee, a quiet fishing spot, and the satisfaction of a bountiful garden. Known as a master gardener, he took pride in canning his homegrown vegetables and was especially famous for his unforgettable spaghetti sauce.
Kenneth was a member of Hughes Creek Community Church in Hugheston, W.Va. His faith guided him through life's trials and triumphs. Though he could be stubborn, those who knew him best saw the heart of gold behind the tough exterior. He had a sharp wit and a quiet, enduring sense of humor that often caught you by surprise.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his legacy of love, laughter and strength will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
He is survived by Kay Carpenter Kuhn, his loving wife of 26 years; daughters, Patricia Parsley (Guy) and Kim Williams (Brian); stepsons, David Denton (Kathryn) and Michael Denton (Peggy); 11 grandchildren: Derek Parsley (Katherine), Chasity Hicks (James), Andrea Parsley (Mike), Miranda Hrivnak (Chris), Sydney McCall (Chris), Zach Denton, Josh Denton, Ben Denton, Katie Denton, Grace Denton, and Grady Denton; nine great-grandchildren; sister, Patricia Hill (Bill Bob); and his close friends, Richard and Nancy Brooks.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Macel and Blanche Kuhn; brothers, Richard and Tom Kuhn; and sister, Nancy Blankenship.
A celebration of Kenneth's life was held at 2 p.m., Monday, Aug. 4, 2025 at the Townson-Smith Funeral Home Chapel. The Rev. Noah Crowe officiated. Family and friends were invited to gather and share memories.
