Kenneth Wayne Ballowe, Sr., 61, of Wingina, went to be with the Lord on September 1, 2021 at his home. He was born December 16, 1959, a son of Maggie Hughes Ballowe and the late Willie Lightfoot Ballowe. Along with his father, Wayne was preceded in death by his wife of 30 years, Rachel Kidd Ballowe and his brother Willie L. Ballowe, Jr.
Wayne called himself a “jack of all trades” because he could do most anything when it came to building or repairing homes, garages, outbuildings and he could fix anything from plumbing to roofing. Wayne enjoyed hunting and riding horses with his friends but most of all he enjoyed time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren.
In addition to his mother, Wayne is also survived by three children Amanda Allen (Trampas), Kenneth Ballowe, Jr. (Marissa) all of Winginia , Shannon Kidd (Brandy of Spout Spring,; two sisters, Florence B. Wright of Dillwyn and Mary B. Londeree (Charles) of Wingina; eight grandchildren, Trey and Trevor Carter; Easton and Bryson Allen, Stephanie, Kyle and Kingsley Ballowe and Dylan Kidd and two great-grandchildren, Kayli and Olivia Kidd.
Funeral services will be held on Sunday, September 5, 2021 at 2 p.m. in the Spears Mountain Baptist Church with interment in the Ballowe Family Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Saturday from 6 until 8 p.m. at the church.
