Kenneth J. Vanoster

Kenneth J. Vanoster, 29, of Deavertown and New Lexington, was born on April 20, 1995, to E. Lee and Darla J. Ferguson Vanoster. He came into this world kicking and screaming, but he was very sick and basically lived at Children’s Hospital fighting to live. He had a long rough road and he fought so hard and never gave up for 29 years, 3 months. Kenneth passed and gained his wings on August 7, 2024, at 9:06 pm of suicide.

He was a 2013 graduate of Foxfire High School and worked with his dad in Lee’s Truck and Auto. He enjoyed drawing, tattooing, hunting and fishing.

Kenneth is survived by his parents: Lee and Darla of New Lexington/Deavertown; his sister Tabitha (Austin) Vanoster; eight children: Kayleigh Vanoster, Mackenzie Vanoster, Kiersten Vanoster, Noah Vanoster, Journey Vanoster, Kolton Vanoster, Addie Chevalier, and Emma Chevalier; a special niece and nephew: Reagan Newsom (they were best friends) and Remington Jarrett; his grandmother Sara Vanoster of Malta; first wife Kaylee Vanoster; second wife Alyssa (Mark) Whited; his fiancée Ronnie Woerner and her children: Hayley, Jarrod, Scotty and Amiya (who just learned to call him Pop Pop for Papaw); aunt Dusty (Eugene) Sharkey; uncle John Vanoster; very special friends: Dustin, Sami, Bruce, Renee, Jack, Andy, Brylen and Jim and I am sure a ton of others, along with several cousins.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents; a sister Samantha Jo; uncles: Curt, Rodney, Chuck and Junior; aunts: Candy, Ida, Beth, Tina; a special woman named Charlene and several stillborn children.
