A time to be born, and a time to die".

Well renowned for his love of Sue's biscuits, Isabel's tamales, and breakfast at supper time. He had incredible drive and ambition and was generous to all including family, friends, and even strangers. He instilled in his children "if it is worth doing, it is worth doing well." Although Kenneth was driven to success, his first desire was to spend eternity with his Savior.
The funeral will be conducted at 2 p.m. Friday, January 27, 2006, at the Eisenhower church of Christ, officiated by Burt Groves. Interment will follow at Resthaven Memorial Gardens in Midland.
