Kenneth Maxwell Lovelace, 39, of DuBois, left us too soon on Thursday, September 11, 2025.
He was born in DuBois, Pennsylvania, on March 20, 1986, to Kenneth Paul Lovelace (late) and Susan Joy (Ellenberger) Lovelace of Grass Flats.
Kenney graduated from Punxsutawney Area Senior High School in 2005.
He was raised on a farm and participated in the Jefferson County 4-H Livestock program. One year, he took grand champion with his steer, Bubba, and donated part of the auction proceeds yearly to research for juvenile diabetes, which he had since the time he was two.
Kenney was employed at Star Iron Works.
His most outstanding achievement and the two he was most proud of were his sons, Maddox Maxwell and Conner John Lovelace. He loved them more than words could convey, and it was a joy for him to see that they had kind and giving hearts, especially for others.
In the coming months, Kenney was to marry the love of his life, Ashley Marie Albert. They are forever united in their love.
He is survived and already mightily missed by his fiancée, Ashley, DuBois, his sons, Maddox and Conner, Sprankle Mills, his mother, Susan (fiancée Donald McClusick), Grassflat, his sister, Rev. Kendra (Rev. John)Balliet, Linesville, his brothers, Jamie (Tessa) Lindermuth, Brookville, and Jerrod (Shania) Lovelace, Reynoldsville, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his brother, Kent Lovelace, paternal grandparents R. Baird and Helen Lovelace, and maternal grandparents, Max and Greta Ellenberger.
Friends will be received from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at Shumaker Funeral Home, Inc., Big Run.
Friends will also be received from 2 p.m. Sunday until the time of service of 3 p.m. at Solid Rock Church, Big Run, officiated by Pastor Joel Fugate.
