Kenny was an active participant in the QC community. He was a member of Faith Lutheran Church and a founding member of New Kingdom Trailriders. He loved being involved in local sports; he was a member of the TQCSHA sled hockey team and water skiing sponsored by Backwater Gamblers and St. Ambrose College. Among his many other passions were camping, traveling, fishing, journaling, rock polishing and collecting, bowling, scrapbooking, and watching movies, game shows, and soap operas. He especially enjoyed trips with family to South Dakota and Disney World.
Kenny's presence will be greatly missed. He was a well-known and beloved fixture within the QC community. He had a special way of lighting up any room with his infectious smile. He gave so much love to so many. His legacy will live on in all the lives he touched within the community.
