John Kenton “Stoney” Stone , 75, passed away October 5, 2022 at his home. He was originally from Marion, Indiana. He then moved to Owensboro, Kentucky and finally to Russellville, Kentucky. He graduated from Brescia College in the 70’s and then went on to be a teacher for Owensboro City Schools. After retiring from there, he had a very successful landscaping business known as Prime Designs.
Anyone that knew Stoney, would know that he was very musically talented playing several instruments. He lived for his music and could often be found tinkering on his guitar to The Rolling Stones playing in the background. He was the life of the party and was active in several bands throughout his lifetime. He was an avid hunter and was most comfortable in nature. He was very proud that he played basketball for one of the first basketball teams Brescia had. In his later years, he was a grandpa to three grandkids, Rosey, Tommy and James and would take them for rides in his corvette when they were together.
All his life, he was most proud to be his brother’s brother, his parents son and to carry the Stone name.
He was preceded in death by his father, John B. Stone.
He is survived by his children, John Kenton Stone II and McKenzie Varns; mother, Mabel B. Stone; three grandkids, Rosey, Tommy, and James; brother, Craig C. Stone (Bette); and two nephews, Justin and Nathan Stone, as well as their families.
