Kenneth Hendrickson Obituary
Kenneth lived a life defined by service, dedication, and love for his family. He proudly served 21 years as an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officer, committing his career to protecting and serving his community. He was also a member of "The Voice of Our Nation's Law Enforcement," reflecting his strong support for law enforcement and the values he upheld throughout his life.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Betty Hendrickson.
Kenneth is survived by his beloved daughter, Sherrie Lynn McKee (Jeff McKee); his cherished granddaughters, Amber Keck (Randy Keck) and Kayla Currie (Douglas Currie); and his treasured great-grandchildren, Joshua Hornaday, Myla Pillow, and Qynci Keck. His family was his greatest pride, and his legacy lives on through them.
Kenneth will be remembered for his strength, dedication, and unwavering sense of duty-both as a law enforcement officer and as a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered

First worked the street with Kenny's father - then Kenny - later.
Kenny was a great contributor to the IPD and the greater community. Respected and well-liked by all!
RIP My Friend!

Kenny was an exemplary policeman. He was an officer that could be depended on to do a good job the first time. Just his presence could quell a rowdy crowd. He was a kind man and never abused his authority. He will be missed by the rank and file of the men and women he served with, as well as, the community he served. Thank you Officer Kenneth Hendrickson for a job well done. We´ll take it from here.
