I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Kenny. I spent a lot of time with the Heady family growing up. His sister Kelly and I were best friends all through our school years. I have so many fond memories of the Heady's. I am thinking of Kenny, times when we were younger and our many antics, his great smile and the fun times we shared; he was always just a very happy guy and thoughts of him as I write this make me smile. Know that I am praying for the entire family at this time and sending my deepest sympathy for your loss.
