John 14:1-6 KJV
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou guest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Kenneth Clemons, at the age of 59, graciously answered the Master's Call and peacefully entered into Eternal Rest on Friday, July 04, 2025. Kenneth was a lifelong resident of New Orleans until Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, then he became a resident of Opelousas, LA. He was a graduate of Alcee Fortier Senior High School. Kenneth held multiple jobs; however, his Specialty Job was as a Meat Cutter/Butcher. When not working as a Butcher, he had multiple skills (working on automobiles, painting, installing ceiling fans, and the performance of various home maintenance/installation of various door security for family and friends. After many years of Faithful Services to his various skills, Kenneth had become Disabled and placed on Permanent Disability.
Kenneth was preceded in death by his loving parents Ruffin H. and Velma B. Clemons, three siblings, Carolyn, Tommy R., and Stephon J. Clemons. Kenneth leaves to cherish his beautiful, blessed memories three siblings: Honore Clemons, Sr, Cynthia C. Brown (Michael, Sr.), Lenora D.

In spite of Kenneth's Disabilities, he kept a positive attitude and his hand in God's Hand. Kenneth enjoyed his early morning on his porch and communication with family and neighbors/associates. He enjoyed family's gathering which was filled with lots of love, laughter, not to mention talking about family memories, great cooking/grilling, eating boiled/fried seafood, and listening to various music. Kenneth will be greatly and sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.
