Kenneth Ray Bebout

Kenneth Ray Bebout, 72, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on July 23, 1952, in Uniontown, Kentucky, Kenneth was the cherished son of John and Annie Bebout.

A proud veteran of the United States Army, Kenneth lived a life marked by service, warmth, and deep devotion to his family. Known for his outgoing personality, he never met a stranger—his kindness and easy conversation brought comfort and joy to those around him.

Kenneth was a loving husband, father, and grandfather—affectionately known as "Papa Goat." He treasured every moment spent with his children and grandchildren, finding joy in the little things and laughter in everyday life. His faith was a source of great strength, and he often found peace listening to his favorite church music.

A man of simple pleasures, Kenneth enjoyed watching classic John Wayne Westerns, tinkering with his cars, and relaxing with a good cigar. He especially loved sharing pickles with Emmy, a sweet tradition that brought smiles and memories to last a lifetime.

Kenneth's presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering generosity will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

Rest in peace, Papa Goat. You will always be with us.
