Kenny's obituary
Kenneth Gary Allison was called home by his heavenly father on March 25, 2025 in Beckley, WV at the age of 68.
Kenny is preceded in death by his parents, William Joseph Allison and Shirley Paula Elder. He is survived by his 2 sons, Bill (Hollie) Allison and Dustin Allison of Hot Springs, Arkansas, his daughter Amanda Allison of Dalton, Georgia, and his siblings; Terry (Libby) Allison of Bolt, West Virginia, Michael (Tara) Allison of Dalton, Georgia, Debbie (Alan) James of Covington, Georgia, and Kathy Allison of Glen White, West Virginia. He also left behind 6 nieces and nephews and 8 grandchildren.
Kenny was born on February 2, 1957 in Beckley, West Virginia. He was known for his infectious laugh, a sound that could fill a room and lift spirits in an instant. Kenny loved being around his family more than anything—he found true joy in simply spending time with the people he loved.
A man of strong faith, Kenny loved the Lord and lived his life with kindness and a generous heart. He was also an avid fisherman; being on the water with a rod in hand was one of his favorite places to be. He found peace and purpose in the quiet of the outdoors.
Kenny was a skilled construction worker—talented with his hands and proud of the work he did. Over the years, he and his son shared countless projects together, and his craftsmanship and hard work will live on in the things they built side by side.
He was a proud Mountaineer through and through, and nothing made him cheer louder than a Mountaineer touchdown. His love for the West Virginia Mountaineers ran deep, and fall Saturdays were often spent watching the game and shouting at the TV with passion and pride.
Kenny will be remembered as a joyful, loving man with a laugh that won’t soon be forgotten.
A celebration of life will be held on June 21, 2025 at 1:00pm at the Mabscott Holiness Church locted at 121 Vision St Beckley, WV 25801.
