Kenneth Alcott “Kenny” Kasson, age 96, died peacefully at his home on November 7th, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.
Kenny was born on March 15th, 1930, in Centerburg, Ohio to the late James and Mary (Hughes) Rasson.
He graduated from Centerburg High School in 1948. He enlisted in the Navy and served our country for 4 years. He previously worked at PPG in Mt. Vernon, Nestles in Sunbury and Worthington Industries in Worthington.
He grew up attending the Centerburg Church of Christ and Centerburg Methodist Church, as did his wife of 57 years, Virginia “Ginny” Griffith Kasson.
He enjoyed baseball in his younger days, and later in life enjoyed bowling, fishing, and golf.
He and mom had the opportunity to visit all 50 states. They also took a yearly trip for years to Myrtle Beach, S. Carolina. His biggest joy was his family, whom all will miss his love, kindness and generosity.
Kenny will be so very missed by his family: daughters, Kelly Gibson (Desmond Douglas), Becky (Jim) Tennant; sister Patti Botts; sisters-in-law, Frances “Carol” Williams and Mary Early; brother-in-law Homer Shroyer; grandchildren, Whitney (George) Holden and Ginny (Dan) Cunningham; step-grandson Michael (Tia) Tennant, Jacob (Kara) Douglas and Anthony (Kim) Douglas; great-grandchildren, Alex, Andrew and Aaron Holden; step-great-grandchildren, Blake and McKinley Tennant, Rowan and Thea Douglas and Cason Douglas; along with numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and a host of special friends.
Kenny was preceded in death by parents, his loving wife Ginny, grandson Ryan Myers, sister Dixie Shreyer and step-granddaughter Brandy Tennant Carr.
Special thanks to our family friend Carol, nephew Jamie Stacy, Capital City Hospice, and neighbors Valerie and McKenna for all the love and assistance in caring for Kenny.
