Kenneth Arnold Berry, known affectionately to all as Kenny, passed away surrounded by his loving family at the Maine Veterans Home in Bangor on Monday, December 15, 2025, at the age of 83. Born on August 29, 1942, in Portland, Maine, to Max and Alberta (McArthur) Berry, Kenny's life was marked by service, dedication, and the pursuit of joy in simple pleasures. Raised in Alexander and a graduate of the Calais Memorial High School, Class of 1960. After graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. His service saw him stationed as military police, guarding B52 planes in French Morocco and at Dow Air Force Base in Bangor. Kenny's love story began on July 6, 1963, when he married his high school sweetheart, Karen Small. Their journey together was one of shared dreams and unyielding support. After his service, he continued his dedication to his country by serving in the Maine Air National Guard. He then embarked on a career at St. Croix Paper Co, later known as Domtar, where he initially worked as a boiler operator before retiring from the control room after 40 years of service in 2004. A testament to his hard work, his career was marked by a commitment to excellence and a deep sense of responsibility. He had a love for the outdoors as he enjoyed fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and 4-wheeling and doing trail work. When not at Dunkin Donuts, sharing stories and laughter over coffee with friends, he could be found working on the Calais Waterfront walkway, ensuring others had a beautiful place to enjoy. His countless hours of hard work earned him The Calais Community Service Award. A sports enthusiast, he was a strong supporter of the Red Sox, Celtics, and the New York Giants. He and Karen were able to travel, enjoying vacations to many Caribbean Islands, Nashville, and Hawaii. Kenny was a member of the Quarter Century Club and the Woodland Spednic Club, where he bowled on the men's league for many years. Kenny's life was filled with love and laughter, particularly when surrounded by his family. He leaves behind his loving wife, Karen Berry; two children, whom he was very proud of; Paula Hutchinson and her husband Steven, and Darren Berry and his wife Josie; two granddaughters who affectionately called him Giggy or Giggster; Taylor, and Mikayla and her husband Alex; great-grandchildren Adasyn and Chloe; sister Maxine Cookson and husband Charlie; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by his parents, Max and Alberta, his brother Richard, and sister Ellen Mallar. A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring, with burial to follow with military honors in the Calais Cemetery. Arrangements are by Mays Funeral Home & Cremation Services.
