Kenwood , I love you very much, and you are deeply missed! To my family, I will continue to keep us all in my prayers for comfort, understanding and healing. Just picture his beautiful smile and the gloominess shall disappear. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would remind him of how thankful I am for having an uncle/brother like him. I'm so grateful for all of them because each one is special in the same and different ways, so I dedicate this poem to my uncle/uncles!
Uncle
Mother's brother
Took me in as his daughter/sis
Wiped the tears from my face
Father took off, so he filled his place
No questions about his loyalty
The love he shows already answered them for me
Day and night I bow and pray
Giving God praise for letting him visit back this way
My protector when life gets rough
No one can break our bond, because it's strong and tough
In his eyes he reveals a secret
Something that is so beautiful, but only we share it
His love is pure, like no other
Thank you grandma for having my mother's brother.
LOVE YOU Koondog!
Your niece, Shant

I would like to express my condolences to the Edwards Family. I met Kenwood for the first time Sunday, October 12, 2008 and while our visit was short, the light in his eyes and his smile gave off such a warm feeling that it touch my very soul. My heart goes out to his sister Angela and the family.

Wow, the last time we spoke was 2 years ago. You were very very close to my heart and hearing that you left this world so early is heart breaking. I thank you for the perfect gentleman you were so many years ago we had a special bond but lost touch over the years. You were my inspiration and because of that I named my first daughter after you. I m sorry I couldn't attend the funeral due to not learning about this until 1pm the day of the funeral. My heart goes out to your family. Tina Martin

I was "Wood's" Supervisor at George's Chicken. He had alot of friends there and was well liked by everyone. He was a hard worker and always did a great job. Everyone is in shock and can't believe he is gone. I know that he was on his way to bigger and better things, but God must have needed him for something else. God Bless You, Edwards family,you are in our prayers. Wood was a wonderful person. Always be proud that you were blessed to have him in your family.
