Kenneth R Marion Jr

January 29, 1961 — March 11, 2025

Louisville

Kenneth Ra Marion Jr., 64, passed away on March 11, 2025. Born on January 29th, 1961 to Sophie Marion and Kenneth Marion Sr. in Canton, Ohio, he then moved to Louisville a few years later, where he would call home for the rest of his life.

Ken was a roofer through and through, owning and operating John Marion Roofing Co. He started working at just 12 years old and never stopped, dedicating his life to his craft and always providing for his family. His work ethic was unmatched, and he took great pride in every job he did.

Outside of work, Ken had a deep love for golfing, cheering on the Cleveland Browns, the Cleveland Guardians (which he still called the Indians), and the New York Rangers. He could often be found unwinding with friends at Bud's Corner, sharing laughs and stories. He was the funniest person in the room, always cracking jokes, and everyone loved his sense of humor.

Ken is survived by his three daughters-Halee Phillips, Carley Marion, and Abbagail Harter-as well as his grandson, baby Joseph Phillips Ill. He is also survived by his sister, Kathy Dimos, and his twin brother, Keith Marion. He was preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth Marion Sr. and Sophie (Kafides) Marion.

Per his wishes, there will be no formal services. Instead, the family will hold a celebration of life in the near future to honor and remember him.

Ken will be deeply missed, but his hardworking spirit, humor, and love will live on in those who knew him. Condolences and special memories of Ken can be shared with his his family online at www.heritagecremationsociety.com
