Kenneth was the father to Elizabeth Wheeler and a proud grandfather to Elizabeths and Logans' five children, Melanie, Tristan, Jasper, Lawson, and Evangeline. He is also survived by his cherished siblings, David Lashus and his wife Laurie, Christine Sammartino, Chatherine Lashus, and Kimberly Hallquist, along with many adoring nieces and nephews.

Beyond his work, he enjoyed making homemade wine with his lifelong friend Michael, a pastime that brought him great joy.
