Kenneth Dale Holm, 73, of Wooster, died Tuesday, March 5, 2024 at Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare. Kenny (as he was known to most) was born March 14, 1950 in Wooster, Ohio to Leland Walter and Mary May {Evans} Holm. He graduated from Waynedale High School then went on to serve in the US Air Force from 1971 to 1975. He was married to Sharen Gearhart-Holm for almost 35 years until she passed away in 2022. Kenny worked as a truck driver and mechanic for many years. In his spare time, he loved to race dirt cars and dragstrips in Delaware and Florida respectively.
