Kenneth Dale Bloss, 74 of Springdale, passed away December 30, 2025 following a brief illness. He was born April 26, 1951 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He was preceded in death by his father, Dale Bloss and his sisters Jani McKee and Vicky Bloss-Watson. Kenny was a member of Sequoyah United Methodist Church in Fayetteville.
Kenny is survived by his wife of 51 years, Mary-Ann Remagen Bloss. He is also survived by nephews Jimmy McKee (Stacy) of Elkins, Deen Hanshew (Lisa) of Little Rock, Clint Hanshew of Springdale, Craig McKee (Leigh Ann) of Tontitown, seven great-nieces and nephews, and his beloved canine companion, Henry.
Following graduation from Fayetteville High School, Kenny enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. After returning to Fayetteville, he became involved in the local softball community, participating in men’s and co-ed leagues. He later served as Umpire-in-Chief for the Fayetteville Softball League for several years, a role that reflected his fairness, leadership and love of the game. Kenny worked in sales until his early retirement due to health issues.
Kenny never met a stranger and enjoyed making new friends, whether traveling for business or alongside Mary-Ann. He was always ready to play golf with friends and family members and spend time fishing local rivers and ponds. He especially cherished fishing trips to the Rio Grande River in Colorado with close friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to a favorite charity that supports the well-being of animals or children.
A celebration of Kenny’s life will be held at a later date.
