Mr. Kenneth Leon Tallent, age 79, of Villa Rica, GA, passed away June 11, 2025. He was born September 12, 1945 in Rome, GA to the late Archie Tallent and Robert Williams Tallent. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters, June White and Jeanette Hamel; and brothers, Tommy Tallent and Ronnie Tallent.
Kenny was a humble man who loved to amaze people with his incredible guitar playing abilities. He lived a remarkable life by his own terms and was affectionately called "Zone T". He adored the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team. He loved life. A kid at heart, he made lasting impressions on those he met and was loved by everyone, especially by his family and lifelong friends.
He is survived by his sister, Charlotte Ray, of Villa Rica, GA; brother, Gary Tallent, of Adairsville, GA; and numerous nieces and nephews.
In keeping with his wishes, Aquamation services will be provided by Miller Funeral Home and a memorial service will be held at a later date. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Kenneth, please visit our Tree Store.
