Kenneth Roth
Kenneth "Kicker Ken" Roth, 64, of Kettlersville, Ohio, died 11:47 P.M. Monday, March 10, 2025, at Lima Memorial Hospital, after a long battle with cancer.
He was born October 10, 1960, in Saint Marys, the son of Robert and Janice (Marker) Roth.
He is survived by his siblings: Bob (Joyce) Roth of Saint Marys; Dennis Roth of Kettlersville; Terry Roth of Saint Marys; Christine (Jeff) Knatz of Sanders, Kentucky; Jeffrey (Andrea) Roth of Findlay; Michael (Nicole) Roth of Hebron, Kentucky.

He was preceded in death by his parents.
Kenny was a 1980 graduate of Saint Marys Memorial High School. He was a tool maker, and retired after 34 years of service at New Bremen Machine and Tool Company. Ken was a good athlete in high school and wrestled and played Roughrider football. He was an avid antique collector and enjoyed working on cars and other projects, and loved spending time with his many friends and family. He missed the companionship of his beloved dog, Missy, who died when she was 18. Kenny and his close friend "Fast Eddie" Backs had attended every single Country Concert in Fort Loramie, and it was there that he earned his nickname, "Kicker Ken". Please contact Fast Eddie for more information. He was a big OSU fan, too.
