Samuel Kenneth "Kenny" McCain

Samuel Kenneth "Kenny" McCain, age 83 passed away on Friday, October 25, 2024, at his daughter's residence in Eupora, MS surrounded by his family. Kenny was born in Eupora, MS on October 24, 1941 to Albert and Sammie McCain. He was a retired car salesman. Kenny was known for his quick wit and a love of general tomfoolery. He had a unique way with words that served him well selling cars and as the long-time voice of the Eupora Eagles football team. He found joy in the simple pleasures in life. He loved a good domino game with friends at the pool hall and then later at Rudy’s barber shop. He spent his life committed to healthy eating taking in large quantities of sweets, fat back, and high dollar sardines. He loved Ole Miss football and cheered on the Rebs until the end. Kenny is survived by two daughters, Ellen (Brandon) Creel, Franklinton, LA; Elizabeth "Liz" (Paul) Orr, Eupora, MS; three sons, Samuel Kenneth "Sam" (Mandy) McCain II, Brentwood, TN; Al McCain, Eupora, MS and Stephen "T-Poo" (Jill) McCain, Dallas, TX and eleven grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Sammie Tidwell McCain, one sister, Betty McCain Bailey and two brothers, Marion McCain and Dub McCain.
