He coached the Logan High School girls bowling team and coached youth bowling at Tiki and Scenic Lanes. He was also a registered volunteer through the USBC. Kenny was always willing to help anyone with their bowling game. He loved to golf and had a hole-in-one. Kenny fished, camped and hunted and shared his love of these with his daughters and grandchildren. He loved music and played piano. He especially loved when his family sang along with him. He enjoyed gardening, taking care of his yard, traveling and playing poker. Kenny loved a good joke and always had one to share. He was known for his infectious laugh.

The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Christian Tencza, Dr. Jarrod Bruce, the late Dr. Mehdi Qamar and the 3rd floor PCU nurses for their excellent care and compassion given to Kenny and his family.
