Kenneth Gaston Obituary

It is with sadness that Kenneth, born September 20, 1955, suddenly passed on January 10, 2019 in Apple Valley, CA. where he lived after retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer 4 (CW4) from the U.S. Army. He joined the army in 1978, and proudly served his country for 28 years. Ken will be lovingly remembered by his wife Rose, daughter Brianna, son Sidney, his parents James and Marlene Gaston, siblings James Jr., Marian and Gerry, and numerous other relatives and friends. Kenneth will be memorialized in our thoughts and prayers as his cremated remains will be scattered at a special place shared with this wife of 22 years.

Marian, Marlene, Jimmy, Gerry,

Since I met Marian in 6th Grade. My 1st real friend, I would like to do a kind gesture. During the times when Marian and Myself got together we discussed birthdays. This was when I learned that Kenny and I share birthdays 9/20.

I desire to send flowers to Mom (Marlene). How do I arrange such a thing.

Please, please someone call me so that I can follow through

Marian and Marlene and family,

My deepest condolences to Kenny Gaston and Family.

I remember Kenny because Marian was my good friend in elementary school and she told me waay back then that my birthday and Kenny's birthday was on the same day.

Even though I have not seen him in quite a while, I always have a flashback as to how different ones that I know share a birthdate with me.

God Bless you all. God speed.

I will always cherish the times I spent laughing with me dad. He had the kind of laugh that filled up a room, a big booming, all encompassing laugh that made you feel at home. He will be missed, but I know he will live on through the memories of all those lives he touched.
