Kenneth Brumley Jr.

Kenny, always optimistic & outgoing. With his huge smile and awesome sense of humor he touched everyone who knew him. He was an amazing person who had a special gift. He is loved so very much and will be missed by many.
Kenny was a big part of so many of my high school memories - Saints football games, school dances & Proms, the Ramona condo, parties at the Virissimo's, Halloween, Elvis Costello, The English Beat in Del Mar, eating at Big Al's, gathering @ the Brumley's to watch Scar Face again and again and again!! Kenny, Paul, Carlos, Mike, etc.....always kept us laughing.
It is those amazing times I will always remember and cherish. Kenny, you will remain in my heart forever. May the perpetual light shine upon you my friend and may you rest in eternal peace.

Little Kenny was an inspiration to all who knew him. He never let anything get in the way of his gift for life. I will miss him.

Kenny I considered you a real cousin to me because you treated me like real family. I will always admire your strength and will to keep going. I am so sad to see that your time has come. You will be missed by everyone you have touched along your journey. Love you and keep on smiling because that is the best memory I have of you and one I will always keep.

I barely knew Kenny, but he inspired me, as he did many others. Glancing over to the football field at Saints during practices, and watching him display his tremendous athleticism despite his many challenges, always left me shaking my head and smiling in quiet admiration. The fact that he was a truly good person only amazes people like me even more. I am sure Kenny is in a better place.

Kenny with the sweet smile, you'll never be forgotten. I will always remember playing games at Aunt Josezita Doiron's house, with Danny and Desiree. God Bless.

Kenny brought laughter and spark to our Sacred Heart Class of '79. Plenty of fond memories. He touched so many lives in a positive way.

Kenny was always a beacon of courage to all those who knew him. He never allowed his illness to be an excuse and, because of that, he inspired us all to take fuller advantage of the gifts we've been given. As his teacher and coach I can say that Kenny will always be the most inspirational Saintsman I've known!

Kenny,

I loved yo as a brother, I remember all of the great times we had, in Ramona, skateboarding, Sacred Heart, me, you Patty and Krisy, everyone from 8th grade and the parties at your house. Later in life in Hollywoood, the shows, bands and craziness and then when we had our families and our kids together. I know you loved all of us, your kids and your family. You touched my life and I will always love you and remember you. Until we meet again...Mike

I went to elementary school with Kenny and I have nothing but fond memories of him. He was a very nice and brave kid.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
