Harrington - Kenneth "Kenny" Wayne Dear Sr. passed away, along with his wife, on Saturday, June 22, 2019, from injuries sustained in an accident. He was born in Milford to the late Pauline and George W. Dear Sr.
Kenny worked as an utility worker for Tidewater Utility. Kenny was a hard worker and quite the workaholic. In his free time, Kenny enjoyed doing many activities alongside his wife, Karen. Whether it was riding his Harley, gardening together, or raising beef, he was most happy during that with Karen. He also enjoyed bass and flounder fishing, and hunting deer and boar.
Kenny was well known for his caring, kind, and loving heart. He was a 21st century gentleman who was always willing to help anyone in need or give a helping hand. He truly loved his kids and grandson and enjoyed being around kids, the more the merrier. He loved his dog Brent that he shared with his wife Karen. Kenny's love for life, his love for his family, and devotion to his fellow man will forever be missed and never forgotten.
