Kenneth Lane Ledbetter, 74, passed away Friday, July 31, 2026 in Concord, NC. Kenneth was born on December 16, 1951 in Union County, North Carolina, to the late Carl and Myrtle Ledbetter.
He worked throughout his life as a brick mason and roofer and in later years enjoyed working in the yard and on vehicles. He was a loving father and papaw. His grandkids were his joy and he loved spending time with them. He left this world but left his testimony of salvation so we know he entered Heaven’s gates.

I pray, now and in the days to follow, that the Lord Jesus Christ will comfort and console the heart of each family member and friend.

Ken loved his family. He will truly be missed by many. We considered him as an honorary grandparent to our kids and grandkids! There were many nights and miles driven back and forth taking Angela, Alanea and Brittany to each other’s houses. He treated Brittany as his own and loved her the same. He gave her the name Gootenhammer early on and then when Ellie came she became Gootenhammer #2. Ken had a kind gentle heart and loved those girls endlessly. We are so glad we will see him again one day and know he will be looking down on all with love and pride. For the family, we pray for peace and comfort all the days ahead. We love you all! For you Ken, rest and enjoy heaven until we are able to see you again.
