Honoring the Memory of Kenneth Goldtooth

Dear cherished family, friends, and kind-hearted individuals near and far,

With heavy hearts, we come together to share the devastating news of the passing of our beloved father, Kenneth Goldtooth. On May 12th, 2023, he peacefully departed this world, surrounded by his loving family. Survived by his devoted wife, Faylene Goldtooth, his eldest daughters, Yarnell Goldtooth, Dawn Rae, and his three sons Christopher Benally, Tony Goldtooth, and Steven Goldtooth, Kenneth's absence has left a profound void in our lives. Over the past few years, he battled with seizures, resulting in multiple hospitalizations, until tragically, they claimed his life.

Kenneth was a cherished member of the Tuba City, Arizona community, where he was widely loved and respected. He found solace in his artistic pursuits, embracing the world of arts and crafts. His passion for adventure led him on countless rides with his beloved Harley-Davidson bike, often venturing to Sturgis, until his health hindered his ability to ride. He was also an esteemed member of the Navajo and Hopi Honor Riders, standing as a testament to his unwavering commitment to service.

Words alone cannot capture the essence of Kenneth's vibrant life, as he touched the hearts of many. To honor his memory and provide him the farewell he deserves, we humbly reach out to you in this challenging time. We find ourselves in dire need of financial assistance to cover the overwhelming costs associated with the funeral arrangements and other essential expenses.

If your compassionate spirit allows, your contribution would mean the world to us, as we navigate this difficult period of grieving and healing. Every donation, no matter the size, will be deeply appreciated. To contribute and support our family during this trying time, we have established a GoFundMe page, where you can make your generous donations.

For those who have already reached out and expressed their concern for our family's well-being during this painful chapter, please know that your kindness has not gone unnoticed. We are profoundly grateful for your unwavering support, as it brings us solace and strength during these trying moments.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing by our side, offering love, and being part of our extended family. Together, we can honor the memory of our beloved Kenneth and provide him with the dignified farewell he so rightfully deserves.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Goldtooth Family
