Kenneth Slack, age 78, of Lakeland, FL passed away on December 9, 2022.
A native of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Kenneth and Mary Slack.
He leaves behind his loving wife, Sandra and children, Teresa Henegar and Calvin (Joann) Sumner. He is survived by his grandchildren, Jesse Henegar, Karen Isacson, Calvin "Bubba" Sumner, and Forrest (Gera) Sumner, great-grandchildren, Kade and Kinsley Kerr and David Isacson and his sister, Susan (John) Charron.
Kenneth worked for McDonald Construction where he was the shop supervisor. He was an avid collector, especially Native American figurines, Western nostalgia and anything with wolves on it. His most prized collections were that of John Wayne memorabilia and his extensive assortment of guns. He enjoyed fishing, primarily saltwater, boating, riding his motorcycle and scouring garage sales, yard sales and flea markets. He wouldn't go out of town without stopping by the local flea market in search of something good. He was a quiet man who would help anyone if he could. He was always there for his children and absolutely adored his grandchildren.
