HASTINGS - Kenneth (Kenny) M. Greenfield, age 76, suddenly and peacefully, passed away in his home surrounded by his favorite woods, on July 30, 2020. Ken was born on June 23, 1944 the oldest child of Patricia and Maurice Greenfield. On August 14, 1965 he married Linda Jensen. They enjoyed 54 years of marriage until her passing in 2019. Growing up, Ken spent his youth with a life full of family, especially his siblings and cousins. He had fond memories of his Grandpa Lafloy and Grandma Inder at Greenfield’s Deer Park. After graduating from Hastings High School in 1962, he joined the U.S. Navy, serving three years as a cook, honorably discharged in 1965. Ken would often share stories of his colorful young adult life including his motorcycle, dune buggy and snowmobile years. His hitchhiking stories were legendary. He would hitch home from Norfolk, VA for a weekend to see Linda and his Dad would leave him at an exit in Battle Creek with a prayer he would make back in time. Ken worked different places but spent most of his working years at Hartz Mountain, with the McKeough family, as a sales manager. He spent his final years of work life working for Bradford White as a truck driver. He and Linda took many vacations, including adventures to Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Churchill, Canada to see polar bears in the wild. He loved the outdoors, his property, cutting wood, hunting, fishing, cooking, visiting with friends and family. He especially enjoyed fishing and hunting with his dear friend Frank DeGroote. Ken’s later years were spent closer to home, enjoying life in the woods and caring for Linda. His greatest enjoyment came from spending time with his family, especially with Linda, his son, Brandon, daughter in law, Tiffany and grandsons, Lucas and Cole. Ken was preceded in death by his parents, Patricia and Mauri Greenfield; in-laws, Jim and Virginia Jensen. He is survived by his son, Brandon (Tiffany) Greenfield of Hastings; grandsons, Lucas and Cole; brother, Gene (Sandy) Greenfield and sister, Jody (Stan) Stockham; many nieces, nephews and cousins. He is also survived by close friends, Larry, Peggy and Frankie Taylor; Tony and Brenda Heath, all of the Heath “Boys”, and his cousin, who was more of a brother, Larry Greenfield. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, 701 W. Cloverdale Rd, Hastings, MI 49058. A memorial service will be determined at a later date.
