Kenneth A. Schuler

1955 – 2025

Kenneth “Kenny” Schuler, 70, of Maineville, OH, passed away on Saturday, December 27, 2025, after a courageous battle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). A loving father, proud grandfather, beloved brother, uncle, companion, and loyal friend, Kenny lived a life full of adventure, humor, and heart.

He is survived by his daughters, Heather (Shawn) Clements and Amy (Chris) Ogg; grandchildren Kaitlyn (Justin) Stephenson, Carlie Clements, Christopher Ogg, and Kannen Ogg; their mother, Joy (John) Noble; companion, Susan Anderson; siblings Carol Buckley, Nancy Ferris (wife of the late Ken Ferris), Danny (Teri) Schuler, and Jenny (Jim) Donnelly; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cherished friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Helen Schuler, and his brother, George (Mary) Schuler.

Kenny’s love for cars and racing began early. At just 14, he bought his first car and famously drove it to school, much to the surprise of his principal. As a teen, he worked at Drook’s Junk Yard and spent time flying in planes at Blue Ash Airport. A natural entrepreneur, Kenny built a career owning and operating several businesses, including Deer Park Suede and Leather, Ken’s Dry Cleaning and Boiler Repair, and Ken’s Delivery Service. His longest-running and most fulfilling venture was Ken’s Plumbing and Piping, which he proudly ran for decades until his retirement in 2025.

Creative and outgoing, Kenny once built a two-story clubhouse from reused materials for his daughters—a project that became the talk of the neighborhood. He loved sharing his passions with his children, grandchildren, and friends, whether at the racetrack, on riding trips, or gathered around the table for family meals. He especially enjoyed preparing Thanksgiving dinner, a tradition for which he took great pride. His stories—like working the pits at the Daytona 500 or recounting his many adventures as a driver and team owner—were always told with a sparkle in his eye and a smile on his face.

Though Kenny was sad to be leaving all of us, he took comfort in knowing he would soon be reunited with his beloved mother and brother. In a final act of generosity, Kenny chose to donate his body to science, hoping that research will one day lead to a cure or improved treatment for IPF.
