Kenneth Niovitch, 87, Devoted Husband, Father, Grandfather "Pa", and Eternal Optimist

Kenneth Niovitch, beloved husband, father, grandfather "Pa", and friend, passed away peacefully at the age of 87 after a courageous six-year battle with Parkinson's disease.

Born and raised in New York City, Ken embodied the warmth, resilience, and charm of his hometown. A devoted New York Mets and Giants fan, he stood by his teams through thick and thin - always hopeful, always believing the next season held promise. That enduring optimism wasn't just reserved for baseball; it was a defining trait of who he was.

Ken built a long and successful career as a salesman, a path that suited his natural charisma and genuine love of people. His easy smile, quick wit, and sincere kindness made him a trusted colleague and a cherished friend to many.

For 56 years, Ken shared a beautiful marriage with his wife, Ellen Niovitch - a partnership rooted in love, respect, and laughter. Together, they built a life full of memories and joy, raising two daughters, Gail Haber and Karen Davis, who were the lights of his life. He was a proud and devoted grandfather to Ethan, Lauren, Ben, and Jack, always celebrating their accomplishments and supporting their dreams.

Despite the challenges Parkinson's brought in his later years, Ken never let it dim his spirit. He faced every day with courage, grace, and a smile - reminding everyone around him to keep moving forward with hope.

Kenneth Niovitch leaves behind a legacy of positivity, perseverance, and unconditional love. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who were lucky enough to know him.
