Kenny was like a brother to me. We served on USS Austin together. We'd always made plans to go to New York almost every weekend. We were always together. And mind you, there was a whole lot of us. Ricardo Briscoe, Julio Suazo, Marvin Henry, Raughn John, etc..... We were a family, and was the glue that kept us together. I'm going to miss my little bro. He's with the lord now. We will meet again, bro. Love you.

Hello and God Bless! I just found out that my brother Kenneth has passed away. My heart is extremely heavy. Kenneth and I first met in September 1996 in Great Lakes Illinois Navy boot camp, and we have been the best of friends ever since. I have nothing but great memories and words for my brother Millington. He will be missed.

People come and go in ones life for a reason or a season. But you were a co worker/ friend of a lifetime.
I wouldn't have never thought that Friday was going to be the last time we spoke. You will be missed. Rest In Heaven my dear friend. May your family find peace and comfort in all the memories that was shared
