Kenneth M. Ridgway died unexpectedly in his sleep on April 9, 2022, at the age of 24.

Kenny was born on March 19, 1998, to his proud parents Brian and Lennette Ridgway.

Kenny worked for Santa Cruz A.M.R. He was excited and well on his way to accomplishing his goals as a Paramedic/Fireman. He was a wonderful son and brought joy to those around him. Kenny was the bright light to his parents. He was a fun-loving son and made everyone laugh. He gave the best hugs, and they were plentiful. He loved his family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, his wonderful friends, and his dog Thor. Kenny loved the outdoors, backpacking, camping, shooting, cars and motorcycles were at the top of his list. He got to visit Europe, Canada and had many fun plans for his future. He was taken too soon, but his undying love for his family, friends and his amazing and endless light will carry on in our hearts forever.

Kenny is survived by his parents, Brian and Lennette Ridgway, his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, his wonderful friends, and his dog Thor.
