March 15, 1939 — May 4, 2025
Kenneth E Miner, age 86, of Bennington, NH passed away peacefully on May 4, 2025 after a brief illness, surrounded by his loving family.

Ken’s greatest joy in life was having coffee and donuts with his buddies, meeting at the Hillsboro Dunkin Donuts several times a week. He had a lifelong interest in classic cars, air shows, and a special love for his 1958 Harley Davidson he was known to ride back in his younger years. Ken enjoyed listening to country music and had a great respect and love for all animals. His deer, turkeys, birds and bears will miss him deeply.

Six grandchildren: Joshua Moreen and his wife Nicole (Whitney) Moreen, William Moreen, Elizabeth Moreen, Ashlee Bliss, Aaron Bliss, and Ben Bliss; two great grandchildren: Colter and Walker Moreen, brother and sister-in-law William and Sandra Cleary of Bennington, NH and many nieces and nephews from both sides.
Ken is predeceased by his loving wife of 60 years, Joyce L Miner who passed just 15 days prior. He was also predeceased by sisters, Marilyn Avery of Orlando, FL. Jeanette Rinehart of Middletown, IN, and Shirley McCallister of Pembroke, NH
