Kenneth Robert Arthur, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 29th, 2026, in New Oxford, PA, at the age of 57. Born on Wednesday, June 4th, 1969, Kenneth's presence in the lives of his family and friends radiated warmth, sincerity, and an unwavering passion for life’s simple joys.
A devoted mechanic by trade, Kenneth’s hands were rarely still, whether working on motorcycles, engaging in building projects, or fixing anything in need of repair. His talents as a handyman brought smiles to the faces of many around him, and his love for the outdoors constantly found him surrounded by nature, a pair of binoculars in hand, admiring the birds.
Kenneth’s energy and enthusiasm extended to a love of sports and was notably passionate about NASCAR, Ohio State, and Cleveland Browns football—a true testament to his Ohio roots. To those who knew him, Kenneth was a "simple man" whose pleasures were derived not from material wealth but from the happiness and comfort of the people he cherished.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Joyce Elaine Arthur, his loving daughters, Michelle Stonesifer (Jason), Megan Justice, and Kayla Justice, and his cherished seven grandchildren, all of whom will miss his infectious laughter and guiding wisdom. Kenneth is also survived by his siblings, Al Arthur (Kimberly), Kimberly Arthur, and Jimmy Arthur, who shared countless memories of love and camaraderie with him.
Kenneth was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Katherine Arthur, who surely welcomed him with open arms.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Kenneth's life on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The gathering will be held with arrangements managed by Feiser Funeral & Cremation Care, Inc in New Oxford, PA.
In honor of Kenneth, his family encourages everyone to carry forward his legacy by engaging in the hobbies he loved, treasuring family, and embracing all of life's simple pleasures. Kenneth’s spirit will continue to guide and inspire those who had the privilege of knowing him. He will forever remain in our hearts.
