Kenny was a devoted father, a loving papaw, a caring brother, and a proud uncle.

He worked hard throughout his life, taking pride in providing for his family and setting an example of dedication and responsibility.


He was preceded in death by his mother, Peggy Whittle, and his father, Kenneth Whittle.


Kenny is survived by his two children, Aaron Womble and Sarah Lord; his grandchildren, Jasmine Perez-Womble, Lance Womble, Allyson Lord, Liam Lord, and Emily Lord, who brought him immense joy; and his two brothers, Ricky Whittle and Matthew Whittle.


Kenny was a longtime member of Princeton Food Mart and a longtime resident of Princeton, Texas, where he was known as a familiar and friendly presence in the community.


Kenny’s love for his family and the role he played in their lives will never be forgotten. His memory will live on through the many lives he touched and the family who will carry him with them always.
