My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Kenny. He was a great guy. Always made me laugh when I was around him.

My first memory of Kenny was when I was a young girl and was babysitting for he and his brother. Kenny was always a loving and kind individual. He never failed to talk to me when I would see him and gave me a hug. He was such a caring and gentle person, and I know he will be greatly missed. My prayers are with his family and friends. I only have treasured memories of Kenny and the blessings he brought to our family. Until we meet again, Aunt Lana Evans-Hodges.
