John Kenney Obituary

Services will be 11:00 a.m., Thursday, January 25, 2007, at the Amos Family Chapel of Shawnee with graveside services at 2:00 p.m., Thursday at Kenney Cemetery, Kidder, MO. John graduated from Kirksville Senior High School and earned his degree in drafting at Northeast Missouri State University (Truman State). He moved to Roeland Park after his graduation. His passions in life were hunting and fishing. He could always tell you how many days it was to opening day of deer season and John always knew the best spot to catch the "big one." He took great pride in his garden and shared his bounty of tomatoes with friends and family. He was preceded in death by his father, John A. Kenney and a niece, Erin M. Kenney. He is survived by his mother, Mary Kenney Shahan and step father, Randall Shahan; a brother, Dan Kenney and sisters, Linda Kenney Cox, Anne Bowe, Jennifer Kenney Birchler, Karen Kenney and many nieces, nephews and good friends, and his faithful chocolate lab, Bubba.

I just learned yesterday of John's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to John's family and friends. I used to see John mowing my neighbor's yard and visited with him from time to time. When I had foot surgery in 2006, I asked John to mow my yard and he did a terrific job. I could tell by the way he took care of my neighbor's yard that he took great pride in his work. I will miss seeing him each summer. He had a beautiful smile which seemed to broaden whenever he talked about his mom. May God comfort and bless you.

To Mary and Family;

My mom (Bette Campbell from Chillicothe) and I saw the obituary in the Chillicother paper and wished to express our sympathy for your loss. Daddy died in 97 and Mom now lives in Springfield in a house close to us. I knew you were all in the KC area but wasn't sure where. We are so sorry for your loss. Take care and email sometime. I hope the rest of your family is doing well...

Take care,

My dear friend, Mary:
I send my sincere sympathy for the loss of John. I just cannot believe it. I’ll always be grateful for all of his help on my lawn care. He was full of energy, laughter, and was so kind to people. I know how hard it is to lose your child but do cherish and hold onto your memories. Speak often of him. It will in time give you comfort and peace.
God bless you and your family.

I wish to express my sincere sympathy to John's mother, Mary, my classmate, as well as to all of his family. I wore his father's football number 43 after he graduated and was honored to do so.

Mary & Randy,

We, just today, heard about John. Please know that our hearts cry for you. I sent the obit out to the "57 folks...hope that is OK. Of course, you will get the copy also. That wasn't very smart on my part...but I did want the others to be able to read it. God give you rest & peace, especially now. We love you. Dwain & Shirley

I want to send my deepest sympathy to John's family. I met John at Informix Software, we sometimes ended up at the same table with fellow employee's taking our breaks and we all shared conversation. I have always remembered John by his sharing
hunting and gardening information with all of us, we all enjoyed those conversation's. I always remember John for his smile and
recognition of other's, John always spoke as passing by.There
are no words to take care of your sorrow, let all the happy memories be there for you now at this time.

Mary, I will miss seeing John's smiling face in the shop and his eagerness to talk health issues with a remedy. He had such respect for you and your knowledge.

I know there is nothing anyone can say to ease the pain you are feeling over John's death. Your faith will have to pull you through in knowing that he's in a place where he can hunt everyday and be free of pain and suffering.

I will pray for you and your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. De and Gary.

I'm so very sorry to hear about John's passing. John lived across the street from me, and was a great neighbor. I remember the first year I moved in, and he was always helping me start my used, hard to start mower. It would take me 10 pulls to his 1 pull to start the dang thing. If I ever needed lawn advice, he was right there to give it. I'll always remember him coming over to see how everything was, and compliment me on how well my lawn was coming along. I'll miss him and his kind heart. God bless you and your family during this difficult time.

May God Bless You
