Kenneth Griner Jr.

Kenneth Boyd Griner Jr. "Doc", 57, of Barberton, passed away on April 22, 2022. Doc was born in Barberton on May 18, 1964. He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army. He will always be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor, his generous spirit, and his big smile. Doc would help anyone in need and always leant an ear to those who needed to talk. Every conversation ended with Doc telling you to "Have a blessed day." In his free time, he loved riding his Harley. He also enjoyed attending Community Holiness Church. One of his greatest joys was being a grandfather.
