Cedric Cortrell Jenkins

Cedric hired me as a young man to work in his GNC store over 11 years ago and I can honestly say he was one of the most genuine and nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I had the privilege to meet his beautiful family and I could clearly see he was a very blessed individual to have them in his life. I haven't talked to him in years but he left a great impression on me as a man and my sincere condolences go out to his family. I know Jesus has this man now and he's at peace, we'll miss you down here until we meet again.

I was a Little Sister at Wildcat Lodge when Cedric was at UK. We were friends on Facebook in the later years. He was such a kind person and had a real touch with photography. I am sad at his loss and will remember him for his kindness. My deepest condolences to his family and close friends.

We were fortunate to have the Jenkins as neighbors for a few years. Our hearts go out to Jamie, Alijah and Deshawn.

Cedric was a fine young man who I had the pleasure to meet and coach against.I send my sympathy and condolences to his mother and sister,sammie and tammy

There are no words to express just how genuine and kind Cedric was. Always smiling! He helped me at the GNC store in Hamburg, Lex KY when I was having issues with milk based protein shakes..he figured out I was allergic to milk protein...that changed my life. We always had wonderful chats when he was there. I know his family will greatly miss him....what an AWESOME, Genuine man, father, son, sibling and friend Cedric was.
Will continue to keep the family lifted in prayers.

I met Cedric at the Lexington Chess Club. As he attended regularly and played in local tournaments, he was always upbeat and happy, and became a friend. When he moved out of town I lost contact with him, but when Covid hit, he started playing in Lexington's weekly online tournaments under his moniker, Swoop. It was fun to chat with him online in those isolated days, and to compete with him. He was a very good speed chess player and frequently won the tournaments. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. A great man.

My Heart aches for the family of this fine young man, been a UK fan since I was a small child and always loved to watch ole Cedric play. May the Lord ease your pain gradually a day at a time. God Bless you all
