Kenneth Curtis Spell

Kenneth C. Spell, affectionately known as Kenny to family, Ken, Son, Brother, Uncle, and Great Uncle passed away on September 7, 2023, due to unexpected complications post surgery.  He was born November 25, 1950, and adopted by his parents C.D. & Florene Spell in Vicksburg, MS.

He is survived by his sister, Marcia Barker, (Steve BIL) of Dacula, GA.  He never married and has no children, but he has adored his nephew, Jonathan Barker, of Ames, IA, his niece, Melody Barker, of Dacula, GA, and his great nieces Amelia Barker, of Grayson, GA, Sasha Barker, of Dacula, GA, and Lora Barker of Dacula, GA.

He grew up in Vicksburg, MS, and attended Vicksburg High School, Hinds Jr College, and Mississippi College.

He worked as a Hospital Records Manager for Cedar-Sinai Medical Center, in Los Angeles, CA, for 36 years.

He was an avid book collector. Sharing books with friends and family was his love language. He was an excellent historian and could speak about almost any area. He was an author as he continued his novel regarding life in the 70’s & 80’s (the best times of his life). He also wrote for the college school newspaper.  He served as columnist for his company’s newsletter.  He constructed models and Lego sets.

He was an extremely loyal and dedicated friend, having maintained relationships of over 50 years.  Many of his friends have already passed away and that made him sad and lonely.  Maybe now he is reunited with those who have gone before him.

The family will receive friends from 2 to 3 p.m. September 10, 2023 at Wages & Sons, 1031 Lawrenceville Hwy, Lawrenceville, GA with the Funeral Service to follow at 3 p.m.

Interment will be held at Gwinnett Memorial Park, 925 Lawrenceville Hwy, Lawrenceville, GA 30046.
