Kenneth Washington

Kenneth Dewan Washington was a 31-year-old member of the Albany, Georgia, community whose life touched family, friends and neighbors. Public records and contemporary reporting identify him by name and age and place him in Albany at the time of his death on September 25, 2015. Though the public record about Kenneth’s daily life is limited, the basic facts confirm he was a real person with relationships and roots in his hometown.

Kenneth’s death drew attention from local law enforcement and the community in the weeks that followed. Reporting from regional news outlets notes that his body was discovered on the night of September 25, 2015, in an alley near the 700 block of West Roosevelt Avenue in Albany. Authorities later determined he had suffered a gunshot wound. News coverage from the period records subsequent investigative activity and at least one arrest connected to the investigation. These details are included only to acknowledge the circumstances surrounding his passing; they do not define the whole of who Kenneth was.

Because there is no published, family-authorized obituary located in the public record that matches both his full name and the exact date of death, many personal details that families often share in an obituary — such as occupation, hobbies, education, or a list of survivors — are not available from authoritative public sources. That lack of published personal detail does not diminish the fact that Kenneth was a person known to others, and his loss was felt by those who knew him.

This remembrance honors Kenneth Dewan Washington as more than a line in a report. He was a son of Albany, a person with relationships and a life that mattered to others. For those who loved him, may this page offer a modest recognition that his life had worth and that his memory is not forgotten. If family or close friends wish to provide further memories, corrections, or a family-prepared notice, those additions would help make this memorial fuller and more personal.
