It was always fun to see Kenny at Green Hills on Mitchell. For some reason, we called each other “maggot” whenever we saw each other. My father, Roger, exchanged the pleasantries with Kenny, too. He got a kick out of our “Maggot with a smile” interactions.
Kenny will be missed by many.
We know “maggot” is in a much better place. God Bless.
Our lives have been so much brighter with Kenny in it. Kenny was a great friend, but more than that he was family! Our hearts are broken over the loss of him. We know now we have someone watching over us!

Oh, Christine – Im so sorry. I remember Kenny as a friendly,and kind young student. Very respectful and his smile could light up the room. I know
words are never sufficient at a time like this. But I just hope that knowing that the thoughts and prayers of others that are with you might help in some small way.

Chris, I am so sorry! If there is anything you need or if you need to get out of the house for a few minutes, you know I am not far and my door is always open.
Kenny will be very missed. He always had great stories to tell. Damon worked with him as Green Hills when we first started dating, so I remember him at Green Hills along with amfam. Damon said, “Everyone liked when Kenny was manager for the evening. He was a nice guy to work for and a lot of fun”
Chris-Sorry to hear of your loss! Prayes go out to you and your family.

Dear Chris, I was so saddened to hear of Kenny’s passing. What a delightful man he was. I knew him years ago from Green Hills. Kenny always had a smile on his face and loved life. He was always the trickster and put a smile on everyones face. Kenny will be greatly missed. What a good role model he must have been.
Chris,I remember Kenny from Green Hills initially. What a nice friendly person he always was. I thought it great when he started working at AmFam. I always enjoyed knowing both of you. God Bless you and yours and I pray for your comfort at this time.
Chris, we were so sorry to see of Kenny’s illness and passing. He really did have just the most delightful personality and smile. You and family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Chris,
So sorry about the loss of Kenny. He was such a fun and onery guy. When I would be in the basement to clean the restrooms I would go out the back door for a quick smoke, when I came back in I never knew where my cleaning cart would be cause he would move and hide it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
Love,
Annie Bohon
