Not sure what to say?

Kenny was a good friend of mine in hs. His mom and dad were always welcoming and warm when I visited their home. One memory was at Holmes Lake in canoes with his cousin Lynn and Mile Arthur. We managed to tip them over in the middle of the lake . Lynn, who couldn´t swim, panicked but we discovered we could touch the bottom and crawl back in the boats. Ken was a great athlete and all-around good guy. RIP Ken, Mark Bryan, LHS 70

My husband, Randy and I met Kenny when when we were all attending UNL. Kenny and Kathy lived next door on Peach St. We met and partied with many UNL football players at Kenny´s house. Randy took Kenny grouse and pheasant hunting in western NE. I think it was first time for Kenny because he didn´t know what a pheasant or grouse looked like. Kenny shot a lot of Meadow larks ; the Nebraska state bird!! We have many fond memories of Kenny and his family.

Ken was an outstanding three sport athlete at Lincoln High School. See his success by visiting LHS Athletic Hall of Fame Ken Adkins. Tom Heuke LHS Class of 1970

So sorry to hear this. Kenny was a friend through high school athletics. Always smiling, always joking yet fiercely competitive. May you rest in peace, Kenny. One of the very good guys. Deepest sympathies for Kenny´s loving family.

I first met Kenny my 10th grade year in an algebra class at LHS. One of the good guys. Hard to believe I am writing these thoughts about a fellow Link, who has passed away at a relatively young age. Rest in Peace Kenny. Prayers and deepest sympathy to his family.
