Obituary

Kenneth Walter Zaggy passed away peacefully on Monday afternoon, July 21, 2025, at Henry Ford Hospice Home in Jackson. He was 80 years old.

Ken was born on January 1, 1945, in Youngstown, Ohio, to the late Walter J. and Mildred M. (Risher) Zaggy. He pursued higher education at Western Michigan University, where he earned a Master's Degree in Business. From 1969 to 1971, Ken proudly served his country in the United States Army. He also served on the Board of Directors for the Michigan Head Injury Alliance.

A driven and creative entrepreneur, Ken owned and operated Turnin' Point, a screw machine factory in Jackson. He also shared his knowledge and experience as an adjunct professor for many years before retiring.

Ken had a deep appreciation for life's pleasures. He enjoyed spending time on the golf course, attending gourmet dinners, and boating with friends and family.

He is survived by his sons, Nicholas Michael Zaggy and Gerald Wade Zaggy; grandchildren, Zachary and Hope Zaggy; siblings, Patricia Grant, Jeri Zaggy, Karla (Dr. Karl) Hamel, and Sharon Kingry; Nicholas's mother and Ken's dear friend, Wendy Zaggy; as well as many loving nieces and nephews.

Ken was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Walter Jason Zaggy; his brother, Walter J. Zaggy; brothers-in-law, Gary Grant and Daniel Kingry; and Clara Sue Clark, mother of Walter Jason and Gerald Wade.

In accordance with Ken's wishes, entombment has already taken place at Roselawn Memorial Gardens Mausoleum in Saginaw. A private memorial service for the family will be held at a later date.

The day I found this obituary I was listening to jazz radio and the song that was playing was called "For Kenny." Cousin Kenny was such a nice man! I remember he used to stop by my parent's home, Ted and Lil Zaggy, in the Chicago suburbs whenever he was in the area, just to say hello. He also told me he sometimes received my emails.. he had kzaggy and I had zaggyk. My sincere heartfelt condolences to all of Kenny's family and friends. Love, Kyla Zaggy
