Born February 1, 1964 in Greensburg, Kenneth Wayne was the son of Wayne and Jackie Powell Dillman.
He was a very special person who spent much of his life with health complications
but always had a smile and never complained. He was a very strong and caring person
with a big heart who loved being with people, making them laugh and never met
a stranger. He always told people they looked nice and thanked them when they
did something nice for him. No matter who it was, when they were leaving, he would
tell them to wear their seatbelt. He was a very spiritual person who enjoyed the church
services he attended and always prayed for people when they were sick. He loved
babies and animals and especially loved spending time with his dog Sally Sue out in
the country. He loved christmas and decorating for it.
Kenneth Wayne was a big fan of Elvis. He loved to dress up as him and play his
guitar. One of his goals in life was to visit Graceland. He also loved going to the
Hartsville Fireman's Fish Fry every summer where he would get his picture taken
with the Elvis impersonator and dance the night away. He loved Elvis but Lisa Marie
Presley was his number one idol, they shared the same birthday.
He always dreamed of working at Walmart someday. That did not happen but
he did work on the assembly line at DSI for awhile.
Kenneth Wayne's life here on earth was cut short but while he was here he lived
it to the fullest.
He is survived by his sister, Terry (David) Herron of Hartsville; aunts, Carole Alvey
of Columbus and Karen Hartwell of Greensburg and lots of cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; grandparents, Harold and Gladys
Powell and Paul and Dorothy Dillman; aunts, Marlene Hoy and Janie Powell and
his companion of ten years, Alma Hadden.
