Kenneth Wayne Liles

Kenneth Wayne Liles, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away on March 1, 2026, in his beloved home in Bruce, Mississippi at the age of 78. Born on June 28, 1947, in Bruce to George and Helen Liles.

Kenneth is survived by his loving wife of 44 years Mary Ann Wilder Liles. He and Mary Ann married on September 4, 1981. Their union was a testament to love and partnership, fostering a family that he adored deeply.

Kenneth is also survived by his daughter Amanda (Jamie) McCammon of Bruce and son Brice (Angela) Liles of Baker, FL, his siblings: brother George (Donna) Liles of Bruce and sisters Anita (David) Sims of Derma, MS and Priscilla (Wayne) Stallings of TX. Kenneth was a proud grandfather to Cody Liles, Ciara Caddin, Taylor Liles, Trent Liles, Catelyn McCammon, Sawyer Liles, and Shelby Liles, as well as a loving great-grandfather to seven great-grandchildren, who will carry his spirit in their hearts.

Kenneth was a member of Parker Baptist Church, where he found joy and fellowship within the community. He enjoyed spending his time gardening, woodworking, and taking pride in mowing his lawn, finding peace in the beauty of nature and the satisfaction of a job well done.

After dedicating 32 years of his career to Borg-Warner, Kenneth retired and embraced a new chapter in life-a chapter that revolved around family, faith, and the simpler joys of life.
