Thomas Kenyon Obituary
Tom was self-employed excavator, owning Kenyon Excavating for many years. He enjoyed the outdoors. Favorite pastimes included camping, fishing, hunting, riding quads and yard work. He always had a dog, and after losing his German Shepherd, he would take his golf cart to the neighbors house and take their dog for a ride. He was a lifetime resident of the area.
Survivors include his wife of almost forty eight years, Carol, three children: Thomas, Jr., Michael (Carmen Lile) Kenyon, and Bridget (Mark) Fairchild, all of Shepherd; nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Tom was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers and one sister.
Tom's wishes were to be cremated. A memorial service will be held at a later date for family. Friends wishing to remember Tom have been asked to consider a contribution to the Kidney Foundation. Envelopes are available at the Rowley Funeral Home.
Please share your thoughts and memories with the family through www.rowleyfuneralhome.com where a public or private message may be left. 'Honoring Traditions, Respecting Change'

I only met Tom once when he was on vacation with his son in Florida. He was a very nice man, one I would have liked to get to know better. My prayers go out to his family, may God give you peace and comfort during this time.

I have known Tom about 35 years, He was about as good as they come.
May he RIP. I wish I would have stopped over to visit instead of just asking about him. Prays to you all. God be with you Carol.
