Kenneth Lee Warner

It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of our beloved father, Kenneth Lee Warner, who left us unexpectedly on December 9, 2024, at the age of 73. Kenny was born in Troy NY and lived half of his life in upstate NY.

He traveled often throughout the North/Southeast working as a Lineman contractor. He later retired in the mountains of Erwin, Tennessee where it felt like home without the frigid temperatures of home. He was a guitar player and singer and had been involved in area country western bands all throughout his life.

He was a man of immense humor and wisdom, cherishing every moment spent with his loved ones traveling back and forth from TN to NY. His passion for country music, mechanics, tinkering projects, adventures, hosting parties, and his unwavering spirit will forever be remembered.

He has been survived by his loving companion Gloria Williams for the last 15 years; his pride and joy Samuel Lee Warner; daughters: Lisa Foley (Pat), Donna Warner, Ashlee Warner-DesOrmeaux, and Tabitha Warner; sons: Norm Mitchell (Seline) & James Toteno; his loving brother William Warner Jr; a wonderful stepmother, Linda Warner, and his grandchildren whom he loved with all his heart: Tiffany, Joe, Paris, Jayda, Kandalin, Olivia, Dani, Benjamin, & Gideon; former wife, Patricia Stevens; several nieces and nephews whom he treated like his own children; lastly, his kitty-cat companion, Bella who loved snuggling with him under the blankets.

He is preceded in death by his parents William Warner, Sr and Ester Crosby; his brother Stephen Warner Sr; his former companion: Kathyann Sinnott with baby boy Kenneth Warner Jr.

The family will have a celebration of life service at a later date.

In lieu of flowers we request donations be made to Robert Ledford Funeral Home to help cover the expenses of his services.

We love you daddy-O. Drive safe, turn the music up, and have a cold one for us. We will see you soon.
