Kenneth Kutnar Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jakubs-Waite Funeral Home on Jan. 6, 2026.
Funeral service for Kenneth Kutnar, age 84, will be 11:00 am, Saturday, January 10, 2026, at the Jakubs-Waite Funeral Home, 36000 Lakeshore Blvd., Eastlake where family will receive friends from 9:30 AM until time of service. Interment will be in All Souls Cemetery.
Kenneth was born on April 6, 1941, in Cleveland to Frank and Josephine (nee Sveta) Kutnar (both deceased) and he passed away on January 5, 2026. Ken dedicated more than 40 years to Local 880, where he worked tirelessly as a respected and dependable manager. Away from work, he found joy behind the wheel of his 1978 Corvette Pace Car with a strong commitment to keeping every detail just right. That same pride showed in his yard, which he maintained with meticulous care and a sense of quiet satisfaction. Ken's steady work ethic and the passions he poured himself into will be remembered and passed down for generations.
Kenneth is the beloved husband of Judith A. (nee Belevice) Kutnar; loving father of Christopher Kutnar (Wanda), Kimberly Yuras, Michelle Luoma, and Brian Kutnar; cherished grandfather of Kyle Serafin, Thomas Yuras, Logan Yuras, Jake Yuras, Megan Luoma, Christopher Kutnar, Jr., and Jordan Fleming (Bernhardt).
