Kenneth Preston Maske, 58, of Ellerbe, passed away Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025 at his home, surrounded by his loving family.
He was born Aug. 11, 1967 in Richmond County, son of the late William Nicholas Maske and Elsie Hogan Maske.
Kenneth served our country in the United States Navy. For many years he worked as a welder with Caterpillar, Inc. Kenneth enjoyed spending time outside, whether fishing or piddling in his shop, or working on his tractor. He was an avid Oakland Raiders football fan. Of the many things Kenneth enjoyed, loving his family, especially his wife, daughters and grandchildren, was most important. He will be dearly missed.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William Nicholas and Elsie Maske.
Left to cherish Kenneth’s memories are his wife of more than 33 years, Kelly Byrd Maske of the home; daughters, Amanda Lee White (Rusty) of Rockingham and Miranda Lynn Paxton (Eugene) of Hamlet; beloved grandchildren, Kylie White, Ellie Paxton and Eli Paxton; and numerous extended family and friends.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date by the family.
At other times, the family will receive friends at the family home.
