August 31, 2024

Kenneth Lee “Ken” Garner, 84, of Mount Joy, died on Saturday, August 31, 2024, at Lebanon VA Medical Center, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Lititz, he was the son of the late Daniel C. and Susan Adair Garner. Ken was the loving husband of Marlene Garner. They shared 59 years of marriage where their love and dedication grew daily guided by their faith.

A veteran, Ken proudly served his country in both the United States Naval Reserves and United States Air Force. He was a true patriot who was selfless in his service towards our country. For many years he worked for Crystal Springs Water as a delivery driver and later a warehouse manager. After retirement, Ken then went on to work at the Manheim Auto Auction. His favorite hobby was to color beautiful pictures. Despite living with shaking caused by Parkinson’s, he never veered outside of the lines. He also enjoyed collecting die cast model cars.

Ken volunteered with the Warwick Community Ambulance for 18 years and previously was a firefighter with the Lititz Fire Company. He was a quiet man who was filled with wisdom. When he spoke, those close to him knew to listen. He was a caring man, who put family above all else. Ken was also a man strong in his faith who enjoyed spending time in the outdoors. He found peace at his family’s cabin in Potter County where he spent many hours snowmobiling and many summers spending time with his loved ones.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Marlene Garner; son, Jeffrey Garner and his wife, Mary Kay; daughter, Hope Garner; and granddaughter, Samantha Garner.
