Kenneth Earl Newsom, 67, born February 20, passed away May 6, 2025 in Jonesboro, AR. Kenneth built a life rooted in hard work and hands-on skill as an HVAC service technician.

He is remembered by his daughter Kayla Wimberly and her husband Tommy of Mabelvale, Arkansas; his son Zachary Newsom of Benton, Arkansas; and his cherished grandchildren Marcus, Chad, and Ro Wimberly. Kenneth also leaves behind a brother Johnny Newsom and his wife Terri of California.

Kenneth was preceded in death by his father William Carl Newsom, mother Helen Faye Newsom, and sister Carla Denham.

Outside of work, Kenneth found joy in the outdoors. He had a passion for hunting and off-road adventures. Some of his most treasured moments were spent riding four-wheelers and dirt bikes with his grandchildren-creating memories filled with laughter, dust trails, and shared excitement. Racing was another thrill that brought him happiness and camaraderie.

May the memory of Kenneth Earl Newsom bring comfort to those who knew him.
