Kenneth Wayne Vining, born on October 15, 1957, passed away peacefully surrounded by family and loved ones. A devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather and great-grandfather, and faithful servant of the Lord, Kenneth leaves behind a legacy rooted in love, faith, and service.
Kenneth was the cherished husband of Kathy Vining, and a devoted father to his daughters, Lisa (Blake) Murdock and Sabrina (Trey) Mantooth. He was a proud grandfather to Kamryn Murdock, Mason Murdock, Tucker Mantooth, and Tatum Mantooth, and a doting great-grandfather to Evelyn Mantooth and Mara Mantooth. He is also survived by his beloved mother, Ervine Vining, and his brothers, Phillip (Patsy) and David Vining.
Kenneth dedicated his life to his calling as a preacher, spending his days praising the Lord and lifting up everyone he met. He had a heart for helping others-always willing to lend a hand, offer a prayer, or simply be a light in someone's darkest moment. His life was a testament to his faith, and his impact will be felt for generations to come.
Those who knew Kenneth will remember him for his kind spirit, unwavering faith, and deep love for his family and community. He preached with passion, lived with purpose, and loved without condition.
He will be deeply missed, but we rejoice knowing he is now in the presence of the Lord he so faithfully served.
