Kenneth Ray Jones, 91, gained his wings on Sunday, March 1, 2026, in his home surrounded by his family and the love they have for him.

He was born March 27, 1934, in Hillsboro, to the late Levi “Red” Jones, the late Bella Kline Jones, and the late Emma Jolly Jones.

Kenneth attended Fleming County High School in the location now referred to as Simon's Middle School. This is where he met his wife, Dorothy Perkins. Dorothy and Kenneth married on July 26, 1952, and were together for 70 years and 15 days that included three children, six grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, and four great-great grandchildren.

Kenneth was a devoted Christian, husband, father, and grandfather. As a member of the Flemingsburg Christian Church he was one of its oldest members. Over the years he served the church in several different ways - whether it was taking up Sunday school money, to serving on the church board as the chair person on the property community to vice chair of the same community, or to wiring in the church or the pastor’s house. After 40 plus years serving as a deacon when he turned 80 he retired from being a deacon. He was then honored as a Deacon Emeritus. He loved serving God in any way he could he loved the church and his church family.

He also served on the board of the Housing Authority for 25 plus years.

When he was younger he worked on the farm and in the evening he worked at the Princess Theater from the time the theater opened until the day it closed. He started selling popcorn, got promoted to running the projectors, then promoted to the manager. While working at the theater he also worked at Davenport Feed Mill, the overall factory, Dunbar drug store, then he started work at Fleming Mason RECC in the engineering department where he retired after 33 years of service. He was also a partner in the Flemingsburg Drive-In from 1970-1979 and he also had his own business as an electrician from 1970 to 2016. When he wasn't working he loved spending time with his family, whether it was from coaching a baseball team or just hanging out playing cards, chess, basketball, or pool with us.

Kenneth enjoyed watching the Reds and Wildcats basketball games. He loved listening to music and had an extensive coins and uncirculated money collection.
