Kenneth “Kenny” Fritzgerald Staton was born May 13, 1966, fifth child to William Louis Staton and Lessie Goldston Staton. On September 9, 2019, he quietly departed and left a void in the hearts of many.

He joined Taylors Chapel Missionary Baptist Church at an early age and was a member of the Male Chorus & Usher Board. He attended schools in Chatham County.

Kenny was a jack of all trades. He was a skilled construction worker, handy man, grill master, plumber & painter. He was a fierce competitor and loved playing horseshoes, cornhole, pool, fishing & basketball.

He was well known for his hilarious antics and jokes. The title of “comedian & actor” was more than deserving as Kenny participated in many church plays and events.

Kenny joined Glorious Praise Cathedral (G.P.C) on May 2, 2010. He was ordained as a Deacon in 2018. He was also a member of the usher board, Mass Choir and sound department.

He was preceded in death by his brothers, Michael Staton and Toni Staton.

Kenny leaves to cherish his memories: his wife, Pamela Staton; eight children: Kenecia Staton, Qualeya Staton, Shaquelia Staton, Martha Glover-Wade, Kenneth Staton Jr (KJ), Michael Staton, Rayna Mendoza & Chasity Mendoza; parents, William & Lessie Staton; six grandchildren, Kimaiyah Farrar, Izaeyah Headen, Jaycian Farrar, Davion Staton, Yalize Staton, Aireas Staton; one brother, Rev.
