Kenny was a great friend and a fine man...I pray he's found comfort and peace. His spirit will be carried in all of us who had the honor of sharing his time here on earth.

Kenny was well known to many of us at TheDirtyNation and considered by his "online family" to be a true brother by all that knew him well. The speed with which he made friends, his quick wit and willingness to share himself selflessly will be long remembered and always treasured.



Farewell Kenny dear friend, our time was too short, I will miss you.

Kenny was such a wonderful friend to me when I was working at Owens & Minor. He would go out of his way to make things right for everyone there. He was an outstanding musician in his spare time & with the Christmas Choir. We are all better people to have known such a wonderful soul. May his memory live on in each of us that knew him.



My heart & deep prayers go out to his family & his 'extended family' at Owens & Minor. He will be missed greatly.



Sincerely with love,
