Kenny, you always left everything better than when you found it. It’s one of the biggest blessings to be able to call you one of my brothers. You’re in all my memories of growing up. My baby will grow up knowing that you’re his Uncle Kenny and we’ll never forget you, your laugh, or the absolute wild things you would say. Miss you, dude.
