Kenneth C Wise

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kenneth C. Wise, who left this world on April 19, 2025, just two days shy of his 77th birthday. Born on April 21, 1948, in Hornell, New York, Kenneth was a beloved husband and friend, whose life was marked by dedication, hard work, and an unwavering spirit.
Kenneth grew up in Ohio and Florida, where he cherished the values of family and community. He was the devoted son of Delphos Wise and Verna Della Gaylord, who instilled in him the principles of kindness and resilience. Kenneth's parents shaped his early years, and though they have preceded him in death, their legacy of love and support continued to guide him throughout his life.
He pursued his education with commitment and went on to obtain an associate's degree, which laid the foundation for his career as a repairman specializing in small compression air tools. His expertise and dedication to his craft earned him respect and admiration from colleagues and customers alike. Kenneth was known for his meticulous work ethic and his ability to solve complex problems, traits that endeared him to many.
Throughout his life, Kenneth found joy in the simple pleasures and the beauty of everyday moments. His greatest source of pride was his loving wife, Barbara Wise, who stood by his side through all of life's ups and downs. Their partnership was a testament to unconditional love and mutual respect, a bond that was evident to all who knew them. Together, they faced life's challenges hand in hand, and their love story will forever be cherished by those who witnessed it.
Kenneth's departure from this world leaves a void that will be felt deeply by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He was not only a devoted husband but a true friend, always willing to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. His warm smile and gentle demeanor will be missed by all.
In the spirit of Kenneth's life, let us remember him not with sorrow but with gratitude for the time we had together. His legacy will continue through the countless lives he touched with his kindness, integrity, and unwavering spirit. Kenneth C. Wise may be gone from our sight, but he will forever live on in our hearts.
