We met at the Norfolk Vo-Tech campus our senior year of high school. You were the star basketball player everyone recognized yet, somehow, you managed to still be one of the most down to Earth, humble, and modest people I'd ever met. I enjoyed our conversations back then, and it was a pleasure catching up with you last year! Rest well good guy!!

R.I.P. Kenny...in high school, I would always marvel at you because you took all that spotlight (bball and the girls) in stride and neverrrr became cocky or arrogant because of it. Always the most humble, chill dude, who showed love to everyone who crossed your path. You showed me that all jocks aren't jerks, Angels are everywhere...in all crews...on all squads. Got got you now, watch over us. Shelby, BTW C/O '97
