Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sunset Funeral & Cremation Services and Cemetery - North Olmsted on Jan. 13, 2026.
Kenneth Wainwright, age 78, of Fairview Park, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on January 7, 2026. Born on September 9, 1947, Kenneth was the beloved son of the late Lawerance Wainwright and Mildred Raney.

Kenneth proudly served his country as a United States Marine, embodying the values of honor, courage, and commitment throughout his life. His time in the Marines shaped his determination, resilience and fine-tuned his sense of humor.

Although Kenneth faced many adversities in life, he was known for his generosity, sense of humor, and unwavering love for his family. Kenneth especially adored his wife and cherished every moment spent with her.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 35 years, Rebecca Wainwright (née White); his daughter-in-law Amber (Jason) Mjolnir; his brothers-in-law Tobin White and Bryan White (Cheryl); and his loving grandchildren Riley, Roman, Jaxon, Bruin, Briar, and Areej.

Kenneth was preceded in death by his loving son, Jason (Amber) Mjolnir.

Kenneth's legacy is one of love, resilience, and laughter. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
