Born on December 8, 1960, in Grenada, MS, Kenneth was known for his warm demeanor and his penchant for humor.

Kenneth's love for truck driving, his jovial nature, and his ability to bring smiles to those around him will always be remembered fondly. As we gather to bid him farewell, let us reflect on the joy he brought into our lives and the legacy of laughter he leaves behind. May he rest in peace, forever remembered and dearly missed.
