Griffin, GA — September 13, 2025
Kenneth Ducan, a devoted husband, father, and hardworking provider from Griffin, Georgia, passed away on September 13, 2025. But behind the date and obituary lies a deeper, painful story—one of resilience, injustice, and neglect that spanned nearly a decade.
In 2018, Kenneth was a proud employee at a local feed supplier, known for his dedication and love for his family. That year, tragedy struck in a moment that would change everything. While loading customer feed, a driver—under circumstances still unclear—accelerated unexpectedly, running over Kenneth and crushing his legs. Witnesses say the truck’s tires spun for nearly a minute before coming to a stop. The physical trauma was devastating, but the emotional and systemic fallout would prove even more brutal.
Kenneth’s injuries left him permanently disabled, and the pain he endured was described by loved ones as “unbearable.” Yet, instead of receiving the support he deserved, Kenneth found himself entangled in a web of neglect. His workers’ compensation claim was denied, leaving his family to shoulder the burden alone.
The first year after the accident was a descent into despair. Everything Kenneth had built—his livelihood, his independence, his sense of purpose—seemed to fade. But he refused to give up. With the support of his wife, Tia Ducan, he fought to reclaim dignity in a system that repeatedly failed him.
In 2022, another terrifying moment shook the Ducan household. Tia returned home to find Kenneth unresponsive in their bedroom. EMS revived his heartbeat, but the incident marked a turning point in his health. From that moment on, Kenneth required constant care—care that, according to Tia, was often riddled with mistreatment and indifference.
The Ducans sought legal help, but instead of justice, they encountered exploitation. Several attorneys—some based in Griffin itself—allegedly took advantage of the family’s vulnerability, offering little in return for their trust.
Tia Ducan became her husband’s fiercest advocate, navigating a broken system while watching Kenneth suffer through indignities no person should endure. She fought for proper care, for accountability, and for the truth to be heard.
Kenneth Ducan’s death marks the end of a long, painful chapter—but it also calls attention to the cracks in the systems meant to protect workers and the disabled. His story is not just one of tragedy, but of courage in the face of relentless adversity.
As the community mourns Kenneth’s passing, many hope his legacy will spark conversations about reform, compassion, and the urgent need to protect those who fall through the cracks.
