Kenneth James Burlingame, 81, of Jamestown, passed away on December 20, 2023. He was born in California, Missouri, on December 13, 1942, to the late Phillip Wayne and Mary Louise Hohman Burlingame.
Kenny grew up in the small town where he was born and graduated from California High School in 1962. Shortly thereafter, he honorably served his country during the Vietnam War after being drafted into the U.S. Army. Following his military service, Kenny returned to his roots and married the love of his life, Marilyn Sue Fletcher, on February 17, 1967, at the Moniteau Evangelical Advent Church. Together, they built a life through the good and bad times.
Professionally, Kenny was a respected parts salesman in the automotive and heavy equipment industry. His knowledge and skill in his field were only surpassed by his ability to forge lasting relationships with customers and colleagues alike. Kenny's work ethic and dedication were evident to all who worked with him throughout his fruitful career.
Kenny was blessed with a loving family.
Kenny was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Charles Burlingame; sisters-in-law, Ruth Burlingame and Lynn Rae Burlingame; brothers-in-law, Paul Imhoff and Kenneth Derendinger; and nephews, Phillip Imhoff and Jason Burlingame.
An avid outdoorsman, Kenny relished the times spent hunting, fishing, picking up walnuts, and arrowhead hunting. Later in life, he discovered a passion for metal detecting. Known for his culinary skills, Kenny was a great fish fryer and was renowned for his hearty breakfasts that would bring family and friends together.
Kenny's community involvement was a testament to his desire to serve and connect with others. He was an active member of the Prairie Home Lions Club and the Moniteau Evangelical Advent Church, where he served on the Cemetery Board. His love for socializing was unmistakable; he was always on the go, known for running the wheels off two Toyota pickup trucks as he visited with people.
Those who knew Kenny will remember him for his creative solutions, optimistic outlook, and unfailingly friendly demeanor. He approached each day with a smile and an eagerness to make the most of every moment. Kenny's legacy will live on in the hearts of his loved ones and the many lives he touched with his kindness and generosity.
Kenny passed away peacefully in Columbia, Missouri. His journey through life was marked by joy, resilience, and the love he shared with those around him. As we say farewell to Kenny, we celebrate a life lived fully, a spirit unbroken, and a man dearly loved. His memory will be cherished forever.
