Kenneth Schoff Obituary

Kenneth W. Schoff, 74, of Holland Patent, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 18, 2025 at Wynn Hospital. Born in Rome on February 19, 1951, he was a son of the late Leo and Laura (Jones) Schoff. He was a 1970 graduate of Holland Patent High School and on May 28, 2005, he was united in marriage to Nancy. Ken will be remembered for a life rooted in love, loyalty, and laughter. A devoted family man, he gave unconditional love to those closest to him and always put family first. Ken was a true outdoorsman, spending time hunting or simply enjoying nature's peace. He was a hardworking dairy farmer for over 25 years and was a motorcoach driver for Birnie Bus Co. for 30 years. Known for his great sense of humor, Ken could bring a smile to anyone's face and lighten even the toughest days. Loyal to the core, he stood by those he loved through every season of life. His legacy of warmth, laughter, and steadfast devotion will live on in all who knew and loved him. Surviving besides his loving wife, Nancy, are two daughters, Kimberly Corr (Rich) and Paula Newland (Chris); two stepchildren, William Childres (Mary) and Tammy Pendergast (Shawn); thirteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; lifelong friends, Boekie and Carol Kunkel; two beloved dogs, Abby and Marley; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by a daughter, Diana; and a sister, Sandy. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 12-3:00 p.m. at the Westernville Fire House, 9305 Rt. 46, Westernville.
