Kenneth H. Prosser, 75, originally of North Braddock, Pa., passed away in his home in Mexico Beach, Fla., on May 13, 2020, after a long struggle with emphysema and COPD. He was surrounded by loved ones at the time of his passing. As a teenager, Ken co-founded the “Do-Nothing Rod & Gun Club,” with lifelong friends. He graduated from Scott High School in 1963 and served his country in the U.S. Navy on the USS Hunley, then the USS Simon Lake, between 1965 and 1967. He worked for General Motors until he retired in 2000. He was an avid fisherman and had a terrifically dry sense of humor. Ken is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Rose Marie; his sister, Peggy (Armstrong); his two daughters, Amy DeVita (Jonas) and Jill Prosser; and his two grandchildren, Michael Kenneth and Isabel Rose DeVita.
