Kenneth Andrew Ivory, of Overland Park, beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend passed away November 17th, 2025. Born on April 29th, 1974, in Orlando, Florida. Kenneth lived a full life. His love for all good music, but specifically gospel music, his passion for delicious food, and his heart for caring for others are all markers of a beautiful life.

Kenneth was preceded in death by his mother, Vivian Ivory and his brother, Darvis Houston. He is survived by his devoted wife, Cindy Ivory, who stood by his side in every season of life. He was a proud father to his children: Kenneshia Ivory, Catie Adams, Sheldon Ivory, Daijah Ivory, and proud uncle to Jabree Rachel. Kenneth’s legacy continues on through his beautiful grandchildren: Kennedy and Nate. Kenneth will also be missed by his siblings: Lourietta, Marianne, Patricia, Jerron, and Cedric, and a host of extended family and friends who’s lives were forever impacted by Kenneth’s presence.
