Kenneth Ray Fyke

May 12, 1967 - January 2, 2021

Kenneth Ray Fyke, 53, of Newnan, Ga, formerly Gahanna, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly at his sister's home in Johnstown, Oh on 1/2/2021. Ken had recently learned that he would need a heart transplant, and was able to enjoy a White Christmas and the holiday season with his family as was his greatest wish. Ken was a long-time flight attendant with Southwest Airlines, avid golfer, statistician, and huge Ohio State football fan. His personality was larger than life, his wit was sharp, and his knowledge of Ohio State football stats and trivia unmatched. He was loved by all that methim. He enjoyed watching his beloved Buckeyes beat Clemson just hours before his passing. He was preceded in death by his mother Karen Ann Young Fyke and father Ray Gordon Fyke. He is loved, mourned, and missed by his sister Terri Lynn Fyke Dandrea, brother- in-law Mark Dandrea, nephews Michael Dandrea, Matthew Dandrea, Matt's fiance Sydney Martindale, soon to arrive great nephew Markus Allen Dandrea, and his step­ mother Beverly Fyke. He is also missed by his beloved extended family including his Aunt Martha (Dick) Stanley, Uncle Doug (Cindy) Young, Uncle Russell (Patty) Young, and cousins Keith Young, Donna Sorrells, Paul Stanley and their families. He is missed by his childhood friends and King of The Hill golf gang, Jeff Nedblake, Eric Fletcher, Dan Walsh, Mike Walsh, Brian Walsh, Rob Jenkins, Bruce Linnabary, and so many others. There is no service at this time, but a future celebration of his life is planned. In lieu of flowers and cards, please consider making a donation in his name to the American Heart Association or to Lifeline of Ohio.
