Went to Western HS in Louisville, KY.

“I've worked for Little Debbie for about 32 years-and I love my family, including 3 beautiful grandkids (all girls), friends, music, and Harley Davidsons. What else is there? Except for where all of that came from...................”

Kenneth (Ken / Kenny / Papa) was born in Louisville, KY on January 1, 1951 to John B. Stiles and Pauline Stiles. He was preceded in death by his half-sister, Vera Cecil, and her husband Bud Cecil, who have five children and four grandchildren.

After graduating with a BS in Criminal Science from EKU, he took a job with Little Debbie Snack Cakes that relocated him to Washington, IN and eventually relocated him to Kansas City, MO where he passed away in his home.

Ken worked as a District Manager for Little Debbie Snack Cakes (McKee Foods) for 37 years and retired in 2014. While he was living in Washington, he was a drummer in a band. Ken loved music to the fullest. His other passions were his Harley Davidson motorcycles and traveling the United States with his wife. On top of traveling, he loved sports, with his favorite team being the Kansas City Chiefs. One thing he prided himself in was being a Papa to his grandkids. He loved watching them grow up, having long conversations with them, and being present for their events.

He is survived by his wife, Juliann Stiles; daughter, Jessica Goode; son-in-law, Donald Goode; along with his four granddaughters, Devin, Dakota, Drew and Desiree; and his great grandson, Tobias, who all reside in Kansas City. He is also survived by his brother, John Stiles; sister-in-law, Debbie Stiles; their three children; and seven grandchildren; as well as his half-sister, Jackie Peake; her two children; and four grandchildren.
