Ken Gerstley, of Pikesville, MD, passed away on Saturday, January 30th, 2021 at the age of 58. Ken was kind through and through, thoughtful of others, and a real gentleman. He was quick with a smile and a hug, and he made everyone feel welcome and comfortable with his infectious rumbling laugh; people loved to be around Ken. An outstanding athlete, he could play just about any sport with power and grace, and enjoyed being a part of the friendly competitions of Kan Jam and Spike Ball on the beach with his whole family. Over the years, he developed friendships wherever he worked, whether it was in the restaurant or ATM business. He also had an amazing work ethic, and he was driven both to do a great job for his customers and to take care of his family. But for Ken, the ultimate thing he loved the most was just hanging out with his two daughters and his loving wife. He was a proud and wonderful father and husband, an example and inspiration, and their hero, and he will be missed incredibly much.

He is survived by his wife, Lori Gerstley (nee Stavisky); daughters, Allie Gerstley and Tori Gerstley; siblings, Ron Gerstley (Amy Blank), Jeanne (Jeff) Weiner, Geri (Michael) Durham, and Jay T. Judd; mother, Barbara Judd; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Bob and Roz Stavisky; brother-in-law and sister-in law, Jeff & Lori Stavisky; nieces, Allie and Emmy Weiner, Maria Gerstley, Manya Gerstley, Sophie and Lily Stavisky, and Lisa Shang; and nephews, Zach and Jake Weiner and Brooks Gerstley. He was predeceased by his brother, Lee Gerstley; and father, John Gerstley.
