Mr. Kenneth Preston Dyson, age 76, passed away on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, in Montgomery, Louisiana. He was born on October 17, 1948, in Montgomery, where he remained a lifelong resident.

Kenneth proudly served his country as a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War and was awarded the Air Medal for his service on May 25, 1970. Following his military service, he dedicated his career to the Kansas City Southern Railroad, from which he later retired. A man of strong work ethic and deep roots in his community, he also found fulfillment in tending to his land as a cattle and pig farmer.

Kenneth's faith was a guiding force throughout his life. As a child, he attended Union Grove Church, and in his later years, Colfax Baptist Church. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose love for his family was unwavering. He found great joy in the simple pleasures of life, cherishing time spent with his loved ones. His kindness, strength, and steadfast spirit will forever be remembered by those who knew him. He is also remembered as the mayor of Bea's Grocery.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Hubert Preston Dyson and Margourie McIlwain; his son, Preston Keith Dyson; his brothers, Thomas William Dyson and brother-in-law Lonnie O'Neal; his in-laws, Carl and Betty DuBois; his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Dyson; and his brother-in-law, Paul DuBois.

Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife of 45 years, Carla Lynn DuBois Dyson of Montgomery; his daughters, Audrey Poisso and husband Joseph, and Danielle Dyson; his treasured grandchildren, Kyle Grady Poisso, Herbert Joseph Poisso, and Oliver Preston Poisso; his faithful grand-dog, Chewy; his brother, Charles Edward Dyson; his sisters, Lois O'Neal and Olla Lonidier; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.
