Jacqueline Kennedy Vanderhall, known to all as “Kenny”, passed peacefully from this life early morning at Senior Care of Marion on July 15, 2021 after a gradual decline in health. He was born in Dillon, South Carolina on June 6, 1962 to his loving parents Uler Charlie Vanderhall, Sr. and Hester Green Vanderhall. He was a devoted father, beloved grandfather, hilarious brother, uncle and husband. Kenny attended Dillon High School, graduating with the class of 1980. While in attendance, he participated in the DHS Marching Wildcats playing the trumpet.

Kenny was a very personable man who didn’t hold his tongue on his thoughts or feelings about anything. He was big on brotherhood and caring for one another. He would say one of two things, “I am my brother’s keeper” or “Be nice to the coloreds” which he always did, although he would show that love to anyone of any background.
