My heart is broken. I didn’t get to see my Uncle Kenny enough over the years and that breaks my heart also. I’ll miss his laugh, his voice, his smile, his stories, and his banana bread 🙂 I’ll miss seeing how he treated my aunt Rachel with so much love. They made me want to be a better person when I was around them because they exuded so much happiness and love to each other and everyone around them. The world lost a great man. I’m so thankful he was my uncle.

I will miss you. We were very close brothers over the years. I am at a loss to express the grief I have at this time. I already miss you Kenny, I will see you in the morning, just inside the Eastern gate with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

What a wonderful strong Christian man he was and will continue to be in heaven. I will miss his laugh, smile and his determination. He was a great family man and a loving husband. He will always be my 2nd dad. He will be missed by all.

Just read that Uncle Kenny has passed away. My heart goes out to my Aunt Rachel, his sons, grandchildren and all of his family members. It has been awhile since I have seen him and that I regret. I will always remember the times we spent together while living in Arizona. Also, will be forever grateful for all he and Rachel did for me and my son Jason. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. Love you all. Your Niece, Brenda Scott

Kenny will be missed by all who knew him. He was a genuine person. His smile made you feel welcome and good inside and out. His love for Rachel was so strong; all you had to do was look at his eyes to see how much he adored her. It was fun to watch him play games. And his cooking was unmatched. We will all miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rachel and the family for strength.
