Brad Pit had nothing on Kenny. He was a very handsome and likeable person. I will always remember his truck going by, his smile and a wave.

I will remember you,
now that you've gone beyond
To a place where earth ends,
and your new journey begins,
I hope it's filled with lakes and streams, long winding roads, a new red pick up and dreams.
Rest now and know your smile stayed behind.
To comfort those you once knew.,
Yes Kenny I will remember you.
