Kenneth Roy Ford passed away peacefully in Beaumont, TX having lived a life of effort, heart, and appreciation for the little things. Born in Port Arthur, TX Kenneth faced life’s challenges with quiet strength and did his best every step of the way. Known for his love of life and the people around him, he brought warmth, laughter, and kindness wherever he went.

He especially loved spending time outdoors and enjoying a good barbecue, often bringing people together around the grill with his easygoing spirit and generous heart. One of his favorite ways to relax was simply riding around town and listening to music, Living in the world one song at a time.
