Rev. Kennard S. Muller

Rev. Kennard S. Muller, age 84, of Forest Hill, MD passed away on March 20, 2018. Born in Baltimore, MD, he was the oldest of five children born to John and Bertha Muller. Father Ken attended Patterson High School. He served in the U.S. Air Force as an air traffic controller at the Air Force base in Greenland. After his tour of duty, he completed studies at Mt. St. Mary’s and St. Jerome’s in Canada and was ordained a priest by Cardinal Sheehan in 1966. He celebrated his first Mass at the Shrine of the Little Flower in Baltimore. In 1973, he helped establish a Total Christian Education Center for Western Maryland at which time he was appointed Administrator of St. Peter’s in Oakland. In 1975, he was re-assigned to establish Prince of Peace Parish in Edgewood. In 1986, at the young age of 53, he had a major heart attack and was advised to retire from active ministry. He then helped care for his aging parents, along with his siblings, and assisted with Mass and confessions in a good number of parishes. In 2008, he moved into St. Ignatius where he faithfully assisted with Mass, Confessions and Anointing’s. Other assignments included Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish (Middle River) and St. Michael’s Overlea. His happiest moments were being able to share in the lives of so many people. Father Ken loved people and good food. He loved a good bargain and would frequently travel to Pennsylvania to the discount food stores to search for a good deal.

Rev. Muller is survived by brothers, John G. Muller III and Richard Muller; sister-in-law, Marlene A. Muller; and sister, Agnes Gahan. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Kathleen Ryan.
