It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Kenneth Roth, who died unexpectedly at his home.
Kenny lived in Ewing, NJ, and was known for his big heart, sense of humor, and the love he showed to those around him. He cherished spending time with his family and was especially devoted to spoiling their dog, Shelby, with treats. A passionate sports fan, Kenny loved watching football, especially his beloved Eagles and cheering on the Phillies. He was a proud dad to his girls, they meant the world to him.
Growing up, Kenny spent much of his time at the racetrack, racing go-karts and sportsman cars at New Egypt, Bridgeport, and other tracks. He loved being part of the racing community, spending time with his crew, and working on the car together.
Kenny worked for many years as the manager of Eastgate Apartments before beginning a new chapter as a custodian at Antheil Elementary School. He took great pride in his work and enjoyed providing a clean, safe space for the children and staff.
His true passion, however, was lettering. Kenny was a gifted artist who loved creating designs for signs, decals, and race cars-his creativity and attention to detail were unmatched.
He was predeceased by his mother Deborah Hood Azzaro, grandmother Lorraine Johnson, grandfather Kenneth Roth, and grandmother Ruth Roth.
Kenny is survived by his loving wife, Jennifer, and their three daughters: Lindsey, Kelsey, and Mackenzie. He is also survived by his father Wayne Roth and his wife Sharon, his brother Jason Roth and his wife Kelly, his stepfather Dominick Azzaro and his wife Susan, his mother-in-law Pat Johnson, sister-in-law Chrissy Holcombe and her husband Glenn, and his nieces and nephews: Aidan, Grayson, Hadley, Harper, and Scarlett, along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Kenny will be remembered for his beautiful smile, infectious laugh, and the love he shared so freely with everyone who knew him.
A memorial service will be held at 12:00PM on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at Poulson & Van Hise Funeral Directors, 650 Lawrence Road, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648.
Calling hours will be on Saturday morning from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, please consider honoring Kenny's memory by contributing to a memorial fund that will be used to give back to others. https://gofund.me/49d2c78f6
