Thomas Berry, Jr., 80, of East Bernstadt, KY passed away peacefully at home on March 22, 2026. He was born in Greensburg, KY on June 13, 1945. the son of the late William Thomas Berry and Wealthy Patterson Berry.

He was united in marriage to Linda Carol Robinson Berry who preceded him in death on August 24, 2025.

Thomas is survived by one son; Billy Berry and wife Sherwin of Columbia, Kentucky, one sister Brenda Beams and husband Carl, his four grandchildren; Ray Rowe (Morgan), Kristy Foster (Scotty), Katie Jeffries (Patrick) and Toni Berry (Terry), ten great – grandchildren; Christopher, Kara, Matt, Jynelle, Breanna, Colton, Ryleigh, Gabbi, Lyllie and Ava, one great-great grandchild; Waylon, two brother in laws; Danny Ray Robinson and wife Glenda, Jack Robinson and wife Charlotte, one sister in law; Virginia Kennedy and husband Jim plus a host of relatives and friends to mourn his passing.

In addition to his parents and wife, Thomas was preceded in death by one daughter; Rita Berry and one sister Zenith Despain.

Thomas was a man of quiet strength and uncommon patience — the kind of person who never needed to be the loudest voice in the room to be the most important one in it. He found his purpose in the careful work of his hands, whether mending something others had given up on or shaping a piece of wood with the precision of someone who understood that the details are what make a thing worth doing. To Thomas, nothing was beyond saving, and nothing worth building was worth rushing. He saw treasure where others saw junk, and possibility where others saw only parts.

His deepest peace lived at the lake, where mornings began in a rocking chair with nothing but birdsong and still water for company. He lived simply and deliberately, and those who loved him knew that his kindness — steady, unhurried, and never conditional — was the truest measure of the man.

Kenneth Lee Akers, 70, of Mount Sherman, KY was born on November 4, 1955 in Campbellsville, KY, a son of the late Chester and Maymie Akers.

He was raised on the the family farm affectionately called "Walton's Mountain" on Liberty Church Road, until his family moved to Hodgenville, KY. He learned carpentry from his dad and ran his own framing crew by the age of 17. Kenny built hundreds of houses over the years, managed a truss company and Don's Lumber of Greensburg for many years. He came home to the farm and started raising cattle and hay. He opened Mt. Sherman Building Supply until one of many strokes kept him from working anymore. He enjoyed singing, his church and camping with his family.

He was a member of LaRue Baptist Church and led the choir for a period of time. He made a profession of faith early in life, but years later the Lord convicted him that he was not saved. He knelt down in a backfield on the farm and asked the Lord to save him. In doing that, he found a peace that he had never known.
