Was just thinking about Kenny the other day...in fact telling his story to help someone who really needed to hear it. It's so hard to believe that it has been nearly two years since he left us. Peace.

I met Kenny in Houston and loved his larger than life smile and kind heart. I was deeply saddened to learn of his death. He loved his family, spoken often of his respect/love of his Mother.
May he rest in peace.
