Kenneth Bernard Dietz, Sr., passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 18, 2022, in his home. He recently celebrated his 76th birthday and was able to see his grandchildren, where he passed on the following words of wisdom for them to live by: Love God and follow His Word. Love and obey your parents.

Kenneth was born to John and Margaret Dietz on May 5, 1946. He went on to join the Marines, where he courageously fought in the Vietnam War. Kenneth was strong in his faith, actively engaged in his church for several years serving as a greeter and being that smiling and welcoming face as people arrived. His smile was infectious and instantly made people feel welcome. He taught his family to work hard and do what is right.

Kenneth is survived by his wife, Doris Dietz; daughter, Tammy (James) Gebben; son, Ken Dietz, Jr.; stepdaughter, Lisa (Eugene) Elam; stepson, Reginald (Mary) Fryar; 6 grandchildren that he considered his greatest blessing: Brandon, Quinton, Cameron, Grace, Christian, and Elijah; brother, Lawrence Dietz; sister, Carol (Don) Stoughton; and a host of loving nephews, nieces, and dear friends that will miss him.

The Dietz family would like to thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Your love and kindness will be cherished.
