Obituary For Kenneth “Kenny” Wagner

Kenny Wagner was born on October 5, 1985 in Fremont and entered into rest on March 5, 2019 at the age of 33 in his Concord home, which he purchased last year. Kenny grew up in the Niles district of Fremont and graduated from Washington High School in 2003. In order to prepare for his future career in welding, he attended classes at both Las Positas and Chabot Junior Colleges. Kenny worked at a variety of companies while attending college. Upon completion of his welding classes, he was employed by Ferguson Welding and Bay Tech Manufacturing. In 2008, he joined the Jenson Mechanical family performing a job that he loved and working with people he cared about in a position that would be categorized as a millwright.

Kenny had a variety of interests. He was an avid reader of science fiction fantasy, medieval historical fiction, history and trivia books. He enjoyed the Marvel Super Hero movies and comics. Above all else, Kenny was a loyal Raider fan whether it was a good or bad year. He loved attending the games and tailgating with friends and family before the games started.

Kenny is survived by his loving parents Ken and Kathy Wagner, his caring sister Jillianne Wagner, her husband Tomas Garcia, his uncles Jay Wagner and Wyn Conefry, his aunts Darlene Wagner and Cinda Conefry, his cousins Mat Conefry, Michael Shuss, Kimberly Shuss and Bernie Conception.

    I worked with Kenny at Jenson Mechanical, on a variety of jobs. Kenny was always a great guy to work with, and was always eager to learn and put forth the extra effort to keep jobs on schedule. I relocated to Alabama in 2017, and truly miss the camaraderie of working with Ken; and getting together for an occasional beer. RIP Brother, and my deepest sympathies to his family and many friends.

    Thank you Phil for posting this. It means a lot to my family and I. I know he talked about you and missed working with you at Jenson before you moved. I am happy that even after you moved you two kept in contact with each other. Thank you. Sincerely, Jill Wagner Kenny’s Sister

    I didn't know him and this is the first time I've ever in my life written about someone I've never met passing away, I was actually searching for another Kenny Wagner but the few posts I've read I get really good, pure energy about Kenneth. I'm sure the family must be proud of him for what he contributed to this world when he was on earth.

    I am very saddened to hear that Kenny has passed away. I worked for Ferguson Welding Service when he became part of the team. Kenny worked under my guidance at times, and was a pleasure to work with. I will always remember his sense of humor, and ability to take a joke , even if he was the center of it,as young apprentices usually are. He did not hesitate on returning a joke back to me or other co-workers , which was just one of his attributes. Kenny showed tremendous potential , and was a fast learner which I knew would helped him through which ever carrier he chose. It was a honor knowing Kenny. My deepest condolences to the Wagner family. Reiner Glausch Union City
