Kenneth Dean Bishop Jr.

I am so sorry to hear Kenny is no longer hear. I always enjoyed seeing him and talking about how soon we could back to Florida. He will be very much missed.

Kenny was one of a kind of person. His dad Kenneth Sr. also worked at Miles/Bayer. From high value EGG production to MEGA farming. I would talk to him about a lot of things from farm shows in Iowa and various places to all the politics of life. A great person to be acquainted with. I remember when he fell from the top of a silo and crushed his feet. With his determination and surgery he was able to walk again. On 3rd shift Machine Cleaner classification we had a few tuff guys. Oliver Newsome, Keith Kirkdorffer and Kenny Bishop all challenged each other in arm wrestling. Kenny beat all them WOW. Until we meet again in the next life be careful.

A great man gone too soon...Missing you

Sorry for the family and all of us who knew and had the privilege of having Kenny in our lives. Big man with a big smile and big heart Godspeed Kenny

Brenda, May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Brenda, so sorry to hear about the passing of Kenny. Our condolences to you and your family. I am writing this from your friends, of long ago as your neighbors in Edwardsburg, Arlene, Karla, and Karen. (Kiner)

I don´t have any words for this. Kenny and I became fast friends for the last 5 years at my detailing shop. I truly loved this couple and so sorry for the family´s loss. Kenny was always the client that became friends with and always checked in on me through some of my own health issues. Love you brother always

Where to begin with memories.....I'll just list a few that are popping into my head as I'm typing this.

1) Riding in/on the front of his loader picking up rocks in the field.
2) Being the first responder to him falling from the grain bin and stopping traffic in the road to try and get blankets to keep him warm.
3) Watching him keep the farm clean/landscape/mow to keep in beautiful.
4) Kenny tending to me blowing my shin out on a pipe at his 4th of July party when I was running around as a little kid.
5) ALWAYS leaving his truck running at grandma and grandpas house when he stopped in for a visit. Pretty sure his truck was never shut off a single minute of a day.....Some say it's still running.
6) Giving me my first tour of his "museum" at the farm.
7) Tractor pulls at the fair!
8) Teaching me about different types of weeds (Puslane specificially) and how to get rid of certain types growing in my yard. Yes, yes, this is a conversation we had over text messages one day, don't judge lol.
9) Kenny sending me notes remembering my birthday every year.
10) Letting us kids play in the wagons when they were emptying Corns/Soy beans etc. (Lee and Kevin getting stuck, shhhhh I probably did too).
11) Telling me why farmers use helicopters on their crops in Orchards
12) The old Football stories from yester year when he played in highschool.


And so on and So on............gonna miss ya big fella!
