Kenneth J. “Kenny” Eastridge, 70, of Campbellsville, KY passed peacefully from this life on Sunday, August 11, 2019 in Campbellsville. He was born in Adair County, KY on August 16, 1948 to the late Calvin & Winnie (Thrasher) Eastridge.
He had made a profession of faith in Christ and was a member of New Journey Church. He was employed by the Fruit of the Loom plant until its closure; later, he would retire from the Mago Construction Company as a truck driver.
Mr. Eastridge was naturally coordinated and found success in many hobbies. He was a former pilot and bus driver, and enjoyed hunting and playing golf, horseshoes, and bowling. He was the proud father of two girls, and at an early age, loved sharing time in the woods coonhunting with them. He loved laughing with people, especially children, and always carried candy enough to share. His sly but genuine smile and twinkling eyes usually warranted forgiveness each time he was able to slip an Atomic Fireball to an unsuspecting adult.
