Walter Phillip Kendrick, of Park Hills, entered eternal rest on December 7, 2025, at his residence at the age of 70. He was born on June 21, 1955, in Bourbon, Missouri, to Walter Kendrick and Catherine (Miller) Wagner.
He is survived by his mother, Catherine Wagner; his children, Heather Funk (Benjamin), Sam Kendrick (Talisha), and Taylor Venable (Jeff); his grandchildren, Mackenzie, Arieaana, Brianna, Thatcher, Amelia, Ona, Evie, Geneva, and Gabri; and his siblings, Dennis Kendrick, Greg Lahmann (Mae), Rick Lahmann (Karla), Ann Lolofie (Wilbur), Lloyd Barnett (Dallas), and Joe Wagner (Rosario).
Walter proudly served his country in the United States Navy. He later worked as a lineman for many years. He enjoyed playing music, woodworking, and spending time in nature. He will be remembered for his kindness, his love for the outdoors, and the joy he brought to those around him.
