My prayers are with Kenny's family. I knew him as kids going to high school and church in Garrard Co. He could really sing
So now he's singing a new song in heaven

Kenny was a true friend. He helped me through some tough times. He always had an ear to listen. I loved his deep singing voice. The Three Wooden Crosses was my favorite. Rest in peace in Jesus's arms brother.
