Kenneth Fryer

KENNETH "KENNY" FRYER WAS BORN ON JUNE 22, 1957, IN BLAKELY, GEORGIA, TO HATTIE FRYER AND RAISED BY HIS BELOVED MARY MCGRIFF. HE WAS A MAN OF PASSION AND INTEGRITY, WITH A DEEP-ROOTED LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY—ESPECIALLY HIS GRANDCHILDREN. 

KENNY WAS KNOWN AS A MAN OF HIS WORD, DEPENDABLE, STRONG, AND DEVOTED TO THOSE HE LOVED. KENNY WAS PRECEDED IN DEATH BY HIS SISTER TAMARA DAVIS, SISTER WILLIE VERA LEE, BROTHER RANDY DAVIS AND GRANDMOTHER MARY MCGRIFF.

 IN THE EARLY 1980S, KENNY RELOCATED TO CLEVELAND, OHIO, WHERE HE BEGAN HIS CAREER IN CONSTRUCTION.. AFTER SUSTAINING AN INJURY, HE TRANSITIONED FROM HIS FORMAL EMPLOYMENT, BUT HIS LOVE FOR REPAIRING CARS NEVER FADED. WHAT BEGAN AS A SKILL BECAME A LIFELONG PASSION, AND HE ВEСAME THE TRUSTED MECHANIC SO MANY RELIED UPON.

 KENNY LATER MET AND MARRIED VICTORIA, AND FROM THAT UNION, THREE CHILDREN WERE BORN. WHILE HE ENJOYED WORKING ON CARS, NOTHING COMPARED TO THE LOVE HE HAD FOR HIS GRANDCHILDREN. THEY WERE TRULY THE JOY OF HIS LIFE. 

ON FEBRUARY 14, 2026, GOD SAW THAT HE WAS TIRED AND CALLED HIM HOME TO REST. SURROUNDED BY HIS GRANDCHILDREN, THE LORD WRAPPED HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND HIM AND GRANTED HIM ETERNAL PEACE.
