Kenneth Regula Brenneman
WEST LAFAYETTE – Kenneth Regula Brenneman, age 75, of West Lafayette, went to be with the Lord on Friday, October 21, 2016 after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s .
Kenneth was born on June 28, 1941 in Coshocton to the late Dan and Mildred (Regula) Brenneman. He was in the 1959 graduating class of West Lafayette High School and then he went on to attend Ohio State University. On September 4, 1965, he married Ruth Shearrow, who survives. Throughout his life, Kenneth worked in sales; he retired in 2009 after spending 13 years as an employee at the Coshocton Wal-Mart. Kenneth was a member for many years at the West Lafayette First Baptist Church and then more recently attended the Fresno Bible Church. Kenneth was an avid fan of the Cleveland Indians, OSU football, the Cleveland Browns, and the Ridgewood Generals. He enjoyed spending his time in his many vegetable and flower gardens over the years. Kenneth was also very family-oriented and loved spending time with his grandkids.
Along with his wife, Ruth, Kenneth is survived by two sons: Danny (Tami) and Andy (Jen) Brenneman; five grandchildren: Jacob, Danika, Jarrett, Evelyn, and Zander Brenneman; a sister, Mary Ann (Don) Slaughter, two nieces, Dawn Cameron and Kelly Reed, two nephews, Don Slaughter and Phil Shearrow, and a sister-in-law, Virginia Shearrow.
