Yes, thanks be to God for a life well spent. My 1st "cuzzin" Kenny was truly a special one in my life (and it seems to be for many others). I know he fought a
'great' journey while here with us but now he's reached his heavenly home to live forever with his other loved ones whose gone on before him. So glad he now can take his rest and live eternally with His Lord. Thank everyone for being so supportive in so many ways thru Kenny's life with us. Just remember, it was with a soul well-spent through it all.

Our heartfelt condolences to Jackie and Blake family. Kenny was a kindhearted and spirited person. Even on his sick bed he called and check on those that weren´t sick. I had the pleasure to be one of those he called and talked to as well as my father,Charlie. Kenny will truly be missed. Jackie, I never met you but I know your husband loved you dearly. We God wrap His arms around you on your weakest days for comfort and I pray the memories you have will give you and your family comfort.

Jackie,
I did not realize who you married until I read the obituary. My father worked with Kenneth, Sr. In the lumber business years ago. So sorry for your loss. I am sure he was a good man.
My thoughts are with you.
