Kenneth Wayne Ritter
Donation protected
A mechanic and fixer-upper at heart, Kenneth Wayne Ritterexcelled at fixing things, primarily cars, and rebuilding houses. He was exceptionally good at cooking. His favorite thing to do was making a meal so that people could gather around and enjoy it and each other’s company. Coincidentally, these meals were opportunities for Kenny to tell stories and give advice, unwanted or otherwise. He will be fondly remembered by all for his somewhat annoying, but contagious laugh and his kind spirit and stubbornness. Kenny followed no one and lived by his own rules. His two favorite Holidays were Halloween and Christmas, and he loved a good football game and Nascar race just as much as a great cooking program.
Kenny, age 68, left this world unexpectedly and peacefully on May 14, 2020 in his home on the coast due congestive heart failure. He is preceded in death by his parents John Robert Ritter and Laura Jean Albright Ritter. He will be missed by his daughter Krystal Ritter Hukmani (Ankur) and his brother,Laurence John Ritter (Janice) and sister, Shawn Ritter Kronenberger (Mark). Some of Kenny’s most loyal and loving relationships were with those of the furry, four-legged kind. In fact, his two grand-dogs, Odin and Skylar Hukmani will miss Grandpa scratches.
As a young man, he attended John Curtis Christian School and graduated from East Jefferson High School. He started his own business as a mechanic right after high school, Ritter’s Repairs in Schriever, LA and also worked for Sun Service Equipment Co. Then, after Hurricane Katrina, he branched into the construction business with Kritter Konstruction Co.
Due to the pandemic, there will be no services held now; however, a celebration of Kenny’s life will be held at his daughter’s house exactly one year from his departure with a crawfish boil in true Ritter style. His family and friends, including Bacardi and Yeager, will be invited to join us at 6242 Caldwell Drive, New Orleans, LA 70122 on May 15, 2021 at 2 p.m. He will eventually rest under three great oak trees in the Garden of Memories not far from his parents for family and friends to visit.
Condolence may be expressed on Kenny’s Facebook page or sent to the family at the address on Caldwell. Donations can be sent to the family at GoFundMe.com/f/KennyRitter and any excess funds will be donated in Kenny’s honor to the American Autoimmune Related Disease Association (AARDA) since he spent some of his final years championing for those affected by polychondritis.
