Kevin & Mya Wagoner

Kevin Joseph Wagoner, “Kaze”, age 25 and Mya Darlene Wagoner, age 3, Centerville (former residents of Akron, OH), died on Friday, April 22, 2022 as a result of a car accident.



Kevin was a light in this world – kind, patient and charismatic, and a friend to all he met. He was a graduate of Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School in 2015, where he was an active participant in the performing arts department. He had a passion for cats, music, magic, seafood and Arnold Palmer’s. He was currently working for Atomic Tech in Dayton, after a recent move from Akron where he worked with his Applebee’s family.



Mya was a beautiful fearless soul with a love for singing, dancing and drawing and adored all animals, especially butterflies and dinosaurs. Like her father, she made friends with all she met. With her parents, she was sustained in special care by grandparents Leah and Scott Kimmel and Uncle KC. She especially adored her “Cousins!”, whom she loved so much.



Together, Kevin, Sydney (wife and mother) and Mya built their lives around each other, cherishing the moments that they created as a family. All three were rays of sunshine as they enjoyed their self-made adventures, spurred by their love of traveling and being outdoors. Kevin and Sydney were inseparable as they were also co-workers for several years. The couple was married January 12, 2019. Sydney holds dear the life that they built together.



Kevin and Mya are preceded in death by nephew and cousin, Vincent Edward Hoffman and grandparents and great-grandparents, Jack Wagoner and Margaret Wagoner. They are survived by beloved wife and mother Sydney Ellen Wagoner; parents and grandparents: Steve and Tina Wagoner; parents-in-law and grandparents: Scott and Leah Kimmel and Ken Cook; siblings and uncles/aunts: K.C. Cook; Jessica (Nick) Hoffman, Lauren (Rob) Fievisohn, Patrick (Diane) Wagoner, Shaye Metzger, and Colleen Wagoner; grandparents and great-grandparents: Bob and Pat Metzger and Ronald Goffee; nephews/nieces and cousins: Danny, Claire and JJ Wagoner and Evelyn and Tim Fievisohn; uncles and aunts: Lori (Jason) Galloway, Bruce Wagoner, Greg Metzger, Tracey Metzger, Julia (Joe) Knezetic; Meg McNeely-Domingo; Mark (dec.)
