Kenneth P Longwell of Dover, passed away, Sunday, March 17, 2024 at Hennis Care Center of Bolivar. Born June 22, 1952 to Paul and Mareth Longwell, Ken attended Perry High School and was retired from Ford Motor company. Dad was a testament to what hard work does. While he had many physical challenges throughout the years, he never missed a chance to be with his children or grandchildren. Our dad worked so hard to be the father and grandfather that we all needed. If it wasnt a softball, football, baseball, soccer match or show week at the Wayne County fair, he was just spending time with us, creating memories that will now carry us all through.
Dad, was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Mareth, his beloved sister Carol, just ten days prior, and his granddaughter Kimberly Erin. He is survived by sister Susan Sogorka. His children, Kari(Rob) Hawk, his daughter, Kristen (Andrew) Bolam, and his son, Kyle (Jamie) Longwell. Also surviving are his grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Brenden, Joshua, McKenzie, Maurgen, Molly, Andrew, Abigail and Aiden, who were the true loves of his life.
Our family would like to thank Dr. Ryan Gasser and the staff at Hennis care center for their exceptional care for our dad!!
We will love and miss you forever dad!
