Kenneth Lavon Willoughby, 61, of Crane Hill, Alabama, passed away on April 25, 2026. Born August 28, 1964, in Alabama, Kenneth was a beloved presence to those who knew him—remembered with deep respect for the warmth he brought to everyday moments, the generosity he showed without fanfare, and the steady humor that could lighten a room when it was needed most.
Kenneth enjoyed driving truck, a line of work that suited his straightforward nature and the quiet pride he took in an honest day’s effort. In the miles he traveled and the routine he kept, family and friends recognized someone dependable—someone who gave freely of himself and whose laughter often arrived at just the right time.
Kenneth is survived by his daughter, Heather Willoughby; his son, Austen Willoughby (Kaylee Keller); his parents, James and Betty Willoughby; and his grandchildren, Izaya Willoughby and Aurora Willoughby.
A committal service will be held on April 28, 2026, from 2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at External Service Location, 16609 County Rd 222, Crane Hill, AL 35053, US.
