Kenneth Alan Flees
July 21, 1959 – February 16, 2026

Kenneth Alan Flees, age 66, passed away on February 16, 2026. Born on July 21, 1959, Kenneth lived a life defined by loyalty, strength, and a deep, unwavering love for his family.

Kenneth graduated from Fountain Valley High School in 1976. Shortly thereafter, he proudly served his country in the United States Army. The discipline, courage, and protective spirit he carried during his military service remained with him throughout his life. He believed in doing what was right, standing firm in his convictions, and taking care of those he loved.

Above all, Kenneth was a devoted father. He was caring, protective, and deeply loving toward his children. He lived with the intention of doing good and always meant well in all he did. His daughter knew she was fiercely protected and wholeheartedly loved. He did right by her, and that legacy of devotion will never fade.

Kenneth had a steady and welcoming presence. Whether through quiet strength or calm reassurance, he made others feel safe. He believed in showing up for the people who mattered to him and offering whatever support he could.

He is survived by his children, Kimberly Flees and Chris Flees; his siblings, Diane Flees, Dale Flees, and Debra Flees; and extended family members who will carry forward his lessons of loyalty, strength, and love.

He was preceded in death by his siblings, Leonard Flees and Karen Flees.

Graveside services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at the Kansas Veterans' Cemetery, WaKeeney, Kansas. Military honors will be provided by the United States Army.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to be written to Out of Town Bus – City of WaKeeney and may be sent in care of Schmitt Funeral Home, 336 N. 12th Street, WaKeeney, KS 67672.
