Kenneth was the son of Wilmer and Oma Riffee Sargent. Kenneth grew up in Dunbar and graduated from Dunbar High School. Kenneth started his career as a Dunbar Postal Carrier with over 30 years of service.

Kenneth is survived by his sisters, Wilda Young, Wanda Mynes, and Loretta Jividen who tirelessly cared for Mary and Kenneth's needs until they passed.
