Mr. Kenneth Wayne Gallimore, 78, of Thomasville, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center. He was born January 13, 1948 in Davidson County, to the late Paul Gallimore and Lillie May Nail Gallimore. Kenneth proudly served his country in the United States Army and was stationed in Germany.  He worked many loyal years as an engineer and could work on anything and fix it – there was “nothing he couldn’t do!”  Kenneth was very intelligent and companies often sought him out to repair and troubleshoot their equipment.  He also enjoyed traveling with his wife when he was able.  On September 27, 1975, Kenneth married Patricia Diane Black and they enjoyed over 50 years of marriage as husband and wife, before his passing. 

Surviving is his loving wife Patricia “Diane” Black Gallimore of the home; his daughter, Angie Gallimore of Stoneville; a brother, Donald Gallimore and wife Diane; two grandchildren, Jackson Corbett King and Taylor Lomax Brown; a great-grandson, Walker Drake Brown and other extended family members. He will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him.

A memorial service will be held at 2 PM on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at Bethany Baptist Church 574 Tower Road, Thomasville, NC, with Pastor Tom Fields officiating.  Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.jcgreenandsons.com.
