Kenneth Wayne Beech Sr.

Kenneth Wayne Beech Sr, a man whose love for life was as immense as his tireless spirit, passed away on March 28, 2025, at the age of 57, in Gulfport, MS. Born on September 14, 1967, Kenneth was a loyal son of Pass Christian, always proud of his roots and the communities he built within it. A graduate of Hancock High School's class of 1985, Kenneth was widely recognized as a gifted transmission mechanic, dedicating his life to mastering his craft. His colleagues not only relied on his expertise but also cherished his camaraderie. He possessed a natural curiosity and an exceptional ability to troubleshoot and solve the most complex mechanical problems. His work was not just a job; it was the canvas upon which he expressed his love for challenge and triumph. Kenneth's zest for life was not contained in his work alone; he was an accomplished drummer and embraced every opportunity to share his passion for music with others. His magnetic personality made him the life of every gathering, and he was affectionately known as a "ladies man" for his charm and easygoing nature. Family and friends benefited from his greatest gift: his innate ability to connect with people, listening to their stories, and brightening their days with his infectious laughter and smiles. His lineage is a testament to a family steeped in tradition and strong ties. Kenneth was preceded in death by his great-grandparents Bravo Woodcock Sr. and Clara Scarborough; and his grandparents Leonard Beech Jr., Wilma Banks on his fathers side, and Bravo Eugene Woodcock Jr., Lucille Cuevas Lizana on his mothers side. He leaves behind his devoted parents, Dorothy Gay Woodcock and Bobby Dale Beech Sr.; his loving siblings, Denise Necaise, Shamala Stephemson, Bobby(Shelby) Beech Jr., Larry(Tina) Beech, Robin(James) Lynn Gill, and Donna Beech. His legacy continues through his cherished children, Kenneth(Katie) Wayne Beech Jr., Shanail Martin, Matthew Scott Holliman, Chad(Tiffany) Beech, and Nicole Barton; alongside his adored fiancée, Nina Kay Ladner, and his treasured grandchildren Savannah, Seth, Sophia, Skylar, and Raelynn. Kenneth Wayne Beech Sr. lived a full life, abundant with love, laughter, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. He will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure and privilege of knowing him. Trinity Funeral Services is honored to serve the Beech family in their time of need and we ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers through the days ahead.
