Kenneth was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who took great pride in his family and the life he built. He worked as a truck driver for many years, a profession that reflected his strong work ethic and dedication. When he wasn’t on the road, Kenneth could often be found in the garage, working on various projects and doing what he enjoyed most keeping busy and building with his hands.
