Mr. Berry was born on Aug. 19, 1947 in rural Galt, the son of Leonard and Ruby Privitt Berry. He graduated from Galt High School in 1966. After graduation, he joined the U.S. Navy and served in the Philippines.
He married Deborah (Debbie) Krewitz at Osgood on Nov. 14, 1976.
The Berrys operated an auto dealership north of Trenton for many years. Before his recent retirement, Kenny could be found in his shop repairing and detailing autos and lawn mowers for sale. Even though his business kept him busy, he always had time for friends and family members who would stop by the shop to chat. He never met a stranger, would always lend a helping hand to others and was always telling stories about his childhood, the military or his hobbies. He was an avid basketball fan and spent many evenings cheering for various teams in the region. He also supported and sponsored several sports teams and was an encouragement to many young players.
Kenny is survived by his life-long partner and soulmate, Debbie, as well as his daughter, Natisha (Tisha) Berry. The family enjoyed taking short day trips and eating out in order to spend time together. Kenny and Debbie enjoyed many antiquing trips throughout the Midwest, as well as to Texas.
Other survivors include two sisters, Judy Jackson and Mary Helen Richardson (Stan), all of Galt; three brothers, Jerry Berry and his wife, Sharon of Galt, Gary Berry and his wife, Shirley of Trenton and Lewis Berry of Galt; his mother-in- law, Patty Krewitz of Trenton; and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and great-nephews. He enjoyed keeping track of the various activities of his family members and is credited with being the uncle with “the best hugs”.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his father-in-law, Bobby Krewitz.
