Kenneth Russel Stillwagoner

January 22, 1942 - April 20, 2025

Scriptures: “Well done good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:23

                       “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. There is reserved for me the crown of righteousness.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8

                       “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.”  Revelation 2:10

In Loving Memory: Kenneth Stillwagoner, age 83, went home to be with the Lord on April 20,2025, surrounded by the love of his family. Born in Mannington, West Virginia on January 22,1942, to Ether Jacob and Anna Alice Stillwagoner. Kenneth lived a life of quiet strength, steady faith, and unwavering devotion to the people he loved. A proud veteran, Kenneth honorably served his country in the United States Army. His life was marked by his service - both to his nation and his family.

Kenneth was known for his quick wit, sense of humor, and just the right amount of stubbornness. He could make you laugh on the hardest days and never backed down from what he believed was right. He found joy in fishing, working with his hands, and deeply cherished every moment spent with his family.

Though we grieve his passing, we rejoice that Kenneth is in the presence of Christ, fully healed, fully whole, and forever home.

Family and Loved Ones:

Kenneth is survived by his beloved wife of 22 years, Donna Gail Stillwagoner, and his children and their spouses: Rusty and Nancy Stillwagoner, Kenny and Rhonda Stillwagoner, and Birchie and Sharon Stillwagoner.

In addition, Kenneth is survived by two cherished sisters-in-law: Bessie Stillwagoner, wife of the late Charles Stillwagoner and Mary Ellen, wife of the late Robert Stillwagoner.
