Kenya was an amazing person. He had a smile that would brighten your whole world. Many days I would walk into work at Brain's BBQ and not want to be there, but Kenya had a way of making it better, rather he was just singing along to the radio with that big smile of his or cracking jokes. He just had a GREAT personality and it never seemed like he let too much get to him (which is something we all could take from him). There is no doubt in my mind that Kenya is in heaven looking down on us. God has bigger plans for him. May God grant his family understanding and comfort through this difficult time.
