Kenneth Wayne Wallis, born in Lawrence, Kentucky in 1952 to Delphine and Kenneth Wallis, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. Kenneth lived a life centered around the people and passions he cherished most.

He was a devoted father to his two children, Delphine Katherine Hardin (Matthew Hardin) and Kenneth Knight (Becky Bright). He was lovingly known as “Papaw” to his four grandchildren: Lawrence Hardin (Evie Hardin), Abigail Lucey (Jason Lucey), Breanna Irish (Addam Irish), and Ella Knight, as well as a proud great-grandfather to five great-grandchildren who brought him immeasurable joy.

Kenneth enjoyed the simple pleasures of life—time spent with family, quiet mornings fishing, peaceful days hunting, and the excitement of collecting sports cards. These hobbies, shared with those he loved, made up some of his happiest moments and will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

A Memorial service-honoring Kenneth’s life will be held at Kenneth’s home in Taylor, Michigan on November 23, 2025.

Kenneth will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories will forever live on in the hearts of his family.
