WINTER HARBOR
It is with great sadness that the children of Kenneth D. Atha (Kenny) announce his passing after a long battle with cancer on Sunday, May 27, 2018, at the age of 67 years.
A teacher, father, mentor and craftsman, Kenny spent his early life as an electrical contractor and his later life as a vocational teacher and school administrator with Henry County Public Schools. Kenny attended the University of Texas (BS), Georgia State University (M.Edu), University of Georgia (M.Edu), and University of West Georgia (Ed.S). He was cherished by many students, leaving a legacy of strong, able-bodied men and women with the skills to be successful in career and life.
Friends of Kenny will tell you that it was not his career but his children, Jason (Hayley) and Robin, that were his pride and joy. He was a devoted father who gave his all to see Jason and Robin grow up to be successful. Kenny was predeceased by his parents, Quincy and Mildred, and his wife, Vicky. Kenny is survived by his children, siblings Carol, Kathy and Errol, nieces, extended family and dear friends.
A celebration of life/visitation will occur on Wednesday, June 6, from 4-7 p.m. at his residence in Winter Harbor. Friends of Kenny are welcome to stop by to meet his children and share stories.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, Office of Gift Records, Emory University, 1762 Clifton Rd. NE, Suite 1400, Atlanta, GA 30322.
