Kenneth "Ken" E. Perry I, age 84, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away and went to be with the Lord on February 17, 2023. Kenneth was born July 30, 1938, in Dresden, Tennessee, to the late Xolon and Lillie (Norman) Perry.

Ken worked at Western and Southern, Sylvania Savings, Farmer's Savings, and then Huntington, until his retirement in 2007.

A man of faith, Ken was a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church, where he was chairman of the finance committee, visitation ministry, and served as Deacon. An avid golfer, he was a member of Legacy Golf Course and president of Par Busters Golf League for 46 years. Ken hunted Michigan deer season for 55 years. Ken's sweet smile and love will forever be missed. This isn't goodbye, it's see you later…
