KENNETH STEPHEN GAMBLE

February 12, 2021

On February 12, 2021, Kenneth Stephen Gamble moved from this life into the arms of Jesus. He is survived by his wife, Shea; his daughter Hannah Hodge (Austin), his son Alex Gamble (Morgan), his daughter Lizzie Gamble, his daughter, Riley Gamble; his parents Kenneth and Ninna Gamble; his brother Aaron Gamble (nephew Landen); his grandchildren Lane Gamble, Piper Hodge, and Maddux Gamble; along with a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.  He was born in Birmingham, AL on January 16, 1973. He spent much of his life in the outdoors. Hunting was his greatest passion. He was also passionate about the career he had built over the past 25 years, serving faithfully in law enforcement at Hueytown Police Department.  He was funny and one of the quickest wits of any human alive. He loved to cook and spend time with his family in the kitchen. He enjoyed sharing his love of hunting with his son, grandson, and friends. He loved watching Alabama football. He was a member of the Iron Warriors motorcycle club. He enjoyed riding and cranking the classic rock up high. AC/DC and Metallica were always on the playlist.  He was quiet, but you always knew where you stood with him. He loved his family deeply and made sacrifices for those that he cared about in ways that only God knows. He didn’t lead an easy life but he knew where he stood with his Savior. He acknowledged regularly that he was a man of failures, but he knew how deep the Grace and Mercy of God run. The void he leaves behind is unfillable, but he’s at peace. He’s in the arms of Jesus along with other family that’s gone before him.  The visitation will be in the gymnasium of Reno Baptist Church, 21256 US, McCalla, AL 35111, February 17, 2021, from 12:30 PM until 2:45 PM.
