Kenneth Carl Coffelt, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather passed away on April 27, 2024, in Waverly, Nebraska. He was born on September 1, 1936 in Avoca, Iowa.

Kenneth was a dedicated and hardworking individual who found joy in his various endeavors. He worked as a baker, creating delicious treats that delighted the community.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Kenneth had a passion for horse racing. He enjoyed the excitement of the races and the thrill of cheering on his favorite horses.

His love for humor was evident in his quick wit and playful nature. Kenneth always had a joke ready to bring laughter to those around him, never missing an opportunity to bring joy to others.

Kenneth is survived by his loving wife, Kay L. Coffelt, and children: Floyd Coffelt, Melandy (Timothy) Clemons, Jay Coffelt, Candace (Richard) Fink, and Leonard Coffelt. He is also survived by numerous grandchildren, great-grand children, and great-great-grandchildren.

We will miss you Kenny. Greatest memories I have is when we all went to the mall in Lincoln and we had to stop and get you and char chocolate at the candy shop. I knew right then and there that we would get along ;). The other cool memory was not to long ago Kelena was pushing you in a wheelchair chasing after the two kiddos as they pick flowers (dandelions). They had so much fun with you and still talk about it today. You will be missed by many but I hope you´re enjoying your time coloring all those pictures with the man upstairs.
