On March 27, 2008 Pennsylvania State Trooper Kenton Iwaniec finished his shift at the Avondale Barracks in Chester County and began his drive home. Just two miles away from his station around 10:15 pm, a Chevy Tahoe crossed the centerline of Rt. 41, hit the driver’s side of a pick-up truck and then hit Kenton’s vehicle head-on. Kenton was flown to Christiana Hospital in Delaware where he passed away two hours later.
Kenton was the type of son you wanted to carry on the family name. His heart was compassionate, his mind was quick, and he had a sense of humor that was one of a kind. Kenton loved his friends, family, God, and Country. In a few simple words, Kenton lived to serve. He was born with a rare fire; he knew there was something bigger than himself and he was willing to give his life to protect it. Although short, the time we had with Kenton was a blessing and a true gift.
We are a family that prays and plays together. A family filled with fun times, great memories, and many traditions. Although Kenton’s passion, stories, smile, and memories will live with us forever, something will always be missing. There will be an empty place at the dinner table and in our hearts.
We have lost our son, our brother, our friend and our protector. We pray the number of families stripped of a loved one as a result of impaired driving will decrease. No one should have to experience this pain.
The PA DUI Association does an admirable job in their efforts to reduce DUI-related injuries and fatalities. Thank you for your dedication!
