Kenneth Dewayne Siverly, age 80, of Granite City, IL, passed away Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at LaBella Healthcare in Edwardsville, IL.

He was born on Monday, March 18, 1946, in West Union, IL, the son of Raymond and Marie (nee Trueblood) Siverly.

Kenneth spent his career on the open road, seeing the country through the windshield of a semi-truck. As an over-the-road driver, he logged countless miles and dedicated years of service to several prominent companies, including Prime Trucking, Yellow Trucking, and Smith Transfer. He ultimately concluded his long and successful career in transportation upon retiring from Consolidated Freightways.

Kenneth was also a proud and active member of his community, dedicated to the principles of fellowship and service through his membership in the Marine Masonic Lodge.

Kenneth was an enthusiastic sports fan who remained fiercely loyal to his favorite teams. He loved to cheer on the Chicago Cubs and the University of Illinois Fighting Illini. He also found great joy on the water, where he loved spending his free time boating and relaxing.

Above all else, Kenneth’s greatest joy was his family. He was his grandchildren's biggest fan and rarely missed an opportunity to sit in the stands. He traveled to countless ball games and various sporting events, always there to cheer them on with pride. His presence, support, and dedication to his loved ones will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew them.
