Fairfax/Georgia, Kenneth Howard “KP” Piper, 62 of Fairfax, passed away unexpectedly Friday evening, July 24, 2015, at the home of his son in Georgia, doing what he enjoyed, tinkering in the garage. Ken was born April 15, 1953, in Elizabethtown, New York, the son of the late Richard Sr. and Patricia (Kimball) Piper. He worked in the auto parts industry and loved tinkering, motorcycle riding and spending time with his family. KP, Ken, Kenny, Pop's as many of us referred to him, was talented in so many ways. His gift of gab, storytelling, hard work, and perseverance is just scratching the surface. KP had one quality that truly stuck out; he was born with a heart of GOLD. His compassion and caring for others was larger than life itself, and will truly be missed by all that knew him. He is survived by his longtime companion, Jeannette Langlois of Fairfax, and his children Samuel Piper and his partner, Brenda Phillips of Richmond; Benjamin Piper and his wife, Amy of Georgia; and Helana Martin, and her partner, Michael Edwards of Cambridge. He leaves eight beloved grandchildren; his brothers and sisters, Neil Piper, Teena Webster, Penny Piper Stuart, Rick Piper, Donna Piper; and several nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his two sisters, Vicki Lynn Piper and Sharron Willey. Visiting Hours will be held on Wednesday, July 29, 2015 from 1 to 3 PM at the Minor Funeral Home, Route 7 in Milton. A Funeral Service will follow at 3PM in the funeral home. Memorial Contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association National Remembrance Program, P.O. Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22312
