Kenneth Cudworth Obituary

Springfield – Kenneth C. Cudworth III (KC), 31, was tragically taken from his family on Saturday, March 29, 2025. Born in Springfield, he was the son of Kenneth Cudworth Jr. and the late Paula Winters. He attended schools in both Granby and Chicopee and furthered his education at Westover Job Corps. He worked for various moving companies over the years including Sitterly Movers and Federal Movers. KC loved spending time with his family and taking in the beauty of earth's nature. He spent as much of his life as he could outdoors and many summers with family on ocean beach trips. KC adored children and our family pets. He would always be found with one of them in his arms. KC leaves behind his father, Kenneth Cudworth Jr. and stepmother Christine of Granby, his grandparents Sheila Fleming and Walter Solzak of Springfield, Paul Winters of Chicopee and Joanne Galambos Winters of Rhode Island, Angelina Cudworth and the late Kenneth Cudworth of Easthampton. He was predeceased by his mother Paula Winters in 2022.

KC will also be deeply missed by his dear friend Jacob Schipper. We have lost KC and will never be the same.

Bro there has been no shortness in words when it has come to your death I just wish we had spoken to eachother a little sooner my friend.

I really would have liked the opportunity to walk with you up another mountain or even jog up the mountain in the winter with ice and snow like we did at least twice, it was actually pretty exhilarating. ”I am pretty sure you fell and i didn’t”. I think once was definitely at night with our flashlights on so we could see but the moon was bright so it helped. You really knew how to make the best fun out of any day, all are times spent will not be forgotten it’s crazy are entire friendships flashed before my eyes you really were my dude I love you bro I am truly sorry for this loss rest well my friend my people our your people when you make it up to the man up stairs.
