Kenneth grew up in the Mesquite, Texas area. He started working at the age of 14 when he began installing carpets and laid many floors for the next 52 years until his health began declining. Kenneth proudly served with the United States Army for six years. Kenneth married LaNesa Matney (Gatlin) on April 1, 2003 in Sherman, Texas. He loved classic cars of all kinds, NASCAR, and watching the Kansas City Chiefs play. Kenneth’s joy was the time he spent with his great grandbabies and teaching his two-year-old how to swim last summer. Kenneth had a “borrowed” dog named Koda, who is his daughter’s that Kenneth adopted and kept him company during his time of illness. Kenneth was a jokester and always enjoyed good humor.
