He entered this world on November 25, 1960, born to Mary Alice Barker and Clyde Joseph Mires, in Opelousas, LA. Kenny honorably served his country in the United States Navy.

Kenny was a strong, kind, and loving man who would always take every opportunity to help anyone he could. Though he fought a difficult battle with cancer for over two years, he never lost these qualities for which he was loved and adored.

Kenny was an avid outdoorsman, taking any opportunity he could to be outside. You could always find him hunting, fishing, or even just "taking the boat out for a ride." When not outdoors Kenny enjoyed spending time with his family and grandkids, traveling, and working on different projects in his shop.
