Hey Uncle Kenny, You did so much for us and everyone, I’m going to miss you and all the things we’ve all been through together will forever be great memories in my heart. You were the coolest uncle anyone has ever had.
Kenny I know you were waiting so everyone couldn’t see you go, especially Dad, he misses you so, remember when you saved me from that drive to Pensacola? And all the times we had to deal with Dad’s ribbing and the fun we had. I know I was crazy and sometimes a pain in the ass, but I know you loved me and our family (even if we werent "good" enough to be mentioned in the obit lol) Had to leave room for Terri and all her neices and nephews, lol.
