Kenneth "Kenny" Wayne Wilkey Obituary
Kenneth “Kenny” Wayne Wilkey, of Terre Haute, passed away on Sunday, January 19, 2025.
He was born on August 21, 1962 in Terre Haute to John Edward Wilkey and Mary Elizabeth Wilkey.
Kenny was a jack of all trades in his youth and worked multiple different career paths. Prior to being disabled, he worked at Ermisch Cleaners as the Operations Manager.
His parents and brothers, John E. Wilkey, Jr. and William “Bill” Wilkey, preceded him in death.
Surviving him is his wife, Mary “Becki” Wilkey; children Anthony Wilkey (Donna Kocsis), Destiny Edwards (Jimmy), and Breonnia Wilkey (Brianna); his sister Linda Spencer (James); brothers Charles Wilkey (Sylvia), Jerry Wilkey, James Wilkey (Deanna), and Timothy Wilkey (Myra); several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
He was an exceptional gardener, and he loved to fish and hunt. Kenny had the kindest heart of anyone and would give the shirt off his back for a stranger in need.
A celebration of life will be held on the weekend of July 4, with a memorial ride, barbecue, and fireworks for family and friends.
