Celebration of life services for Mr. Kenneth Lillard “KL†Winningham III will be conducted at 3 p.m., Saturday, June 21, 2025, from the Presbyterian Christ Church in Alpine, Tennessee. Rev. Beau Carr will officiate. The family will welcome friends from 11 a.m. until the time of services.
Mr. Winningham, 31, of the Hatcher Hall community, Overton County, Tennessee, passed from this life Tuesday, June 10, 2025, in Panama City, Florida.
He was born Sept. 17, 1993, in Nashville, Tennessee, to Kenneth Lillard Winningham Jr. and Betty Jean Crabtree Winningham.
KL was a proud and well-known member of the Overton County community. He served with honor as a firefighter for the Livingston Fire Department and was deeply devoted to his role. His family has owned and operated Winningham Hardware for nearly a century — a legacy KL was proud to be part of.
KL was full of life and never met a stranger. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and brought warmth and kindness to every room he entered. An avid outdoorsman, he loved fishing, hunting and camping on the lake.
Just the previous Saturday, KL married the love of his life, Heather Diane Brown-Winningham. He was a devoted husband and a loving father. His love for his children was undeniable, and he was joyfully anticipating the arrival of his unborn daughter, Hadley.
KL is survived by his beloved wife, Heather Diane Brown-Winningham; his children, Brooklyn Winningham, Samuel Winningham and unborn daughter Hadley Winningham; his parents, Kenneth Lillard Winningham Jr. and Betty Jean Winningham; his sister, Megan Winningham; his brother, Alex Winningham; and his father-in-law, Charlie Brown.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harold and Dorise Crabtree, Kenneth Lillard Winningham Sr. and Jacqueline Jolly Winningham; and his mother-in-law, Tammy Renee Fisher-Brown.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Winningham Children’s Scholarship Fund by contacting Speck Funeral Home.
Speck Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements, 931-823-1271.
