    Mr. Kenneth Andrew Hood

    December 27, 1954 - November 16, 2021

    Kenneth Hood, or Kenny to those who knew him best, passed away Tuesday morning, November 16th, in the comfort of his home surrounded by family. Born on December 27th, 1954 in Columbia, SC to the late Werner Glenn Hood Jr. and Carolyn Joan Raines Hood, Kenny was the oldest of three siblings. He is predeceased by a sister, Karen Melinda Hood, and survived by his sister, Joan, niece, Kayla, and beloved dog Lily. Kenny grew up in Blythewood, SC and even though he lived in Columbia the majority of his life, he always considered Blythewood home. Kenny graduated from Spring Valley High School in 1973 and after attending the University of South Carolina, began his career with Colonial Life Insurance company in 1978, where he worked for 42 years. Some of Ken’s favorite moments were spending time with his friends, enjoying a glass of red wine, and visiting Folly Beach. He especially enjoyed his Saturday lunches at DiPrato’s and trips to New York with his longtime friend, Suzette. Whether you knew him as Kenny, Ken, or Uncle Bub, to know him was to love him. This love was expressed in the many cards, calls, and texts he received during his illness. Many thanks to all of Ken’s friends for their encouragement and support during his illness. In honor of Ken’s memory, memorials should be made to a charity of your choice. The family will receive friends from 6 until 8 o'clock Thursday, November 18th, at Shives Funeral Home, Trenholm Road Chapel, 7600 Trenholm Road Chapel, Columbia, SC.
