Kenneth Paul Wellington

Mr. Kenneth Paul Wellington, of Trussville, AL, passed away with his family by his side on June 10, 2024 at the age of 77.  He was born March 20, 1947 in Greenville, NC as the oldest son to Paul Joseph and Virginia Louise Wellington.  Mr. Wellington was a Marine and served in the Vietnam War.   He was extremely proud of his service, strongly supported all the careers of his family members, and would look for opportunities to acknowledge the service of fellow veterans.  He excelled in his long business career as an executive and mentor.  His passion and vision were instrumental in founding Storeroom Solutions and its eventual success.  

Ken will be remembered for his love of poker games, trips to the movie theater, and mastering computer games before they became the craze of today.  Most of all, he loved and supported his family and cherished time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren even when sometimes “cheating” in the many games they played.  In his later years, he enjoyed family trips to Gatlinburg and the lake, attending craft shows, and working at the bakery.  

He was proceeded in death by his parents and brother, Larry.  Mr. Wellington is survived by sons, Chris (Beth) Snyder of Mandeville, LA; Eric (Lisa) Wellington of King of Prussia, PA; daughters Justine (Bill) McKay of Trussville, AL; Kimberly (Shawn) Scott of Austintown, OH; 14 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren, and his brothers Jim, Bobby, and Chris Wellington.
