Kenny's infectious laugh is one thing we will never forget, anyone within ear-shot of him couldn't help but laugh with him... or at him when he did some silly slap-stick gesture.I can bet, if the Farmalls in heaven couldn't do wheelies before.... they do now.Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kenny was so much more than a father in law to me, he was a very good friend, Honest and True. He is already missed, but we know he is looking out for us now. I guess Justin and I shared his last moment with him and he went easy. What more could you ask for, except having him back. I hope for all of us that that will truly happen one day. I look forward to it, knowing he is gaurding the gate for me.

Aunt Sandy and family I'm deeply sorry for your loss. So many great memories to name with Uncle Kenny I don't know where to begin. Well, he got my mom on her first tractor and scared the living day lights out of her. Then I remember well lets just say my moms going to hurt me for putting this on here being up to Oakley for their annual show and being back at Aunt Sandy and Uncle Kenny's camper and my mom just had her surgery to loose all her weight and had not had the time to go shopping for new clothes and when she went and gave him a hug he goes how are are you and mom said "hanging in there" and Uncle Kenny said "it looks awful low to me." Thats when mom knew she had to go get new clothes. Three weeks ago sitting at the house I showed him some of my senior pictures that I have and when he was done he said " you sure have grown into a fine young lady." That made me smile and proud.Uncle Kenny may you rest in peace you will never be forgotten you are forever in our hearts we love you.Love you always your Great Niece Erica Christenbery(Julie MacKenzie's daughter)

Aunt Sandy and family, I am so sorry for the lost of Uncle Kenny. I will always treasure the time i had with him in pulling tractors and for him giving me the chance to pull. Thanks to him i have always enjoyed the tractors pulls and the times up to Oakley. He was always a character in all of the jokes he had with family and friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Your neice, Julie Mackenzie ( Fowlerville)
