I can't believe that I'm writing this.We all are going to miss you,You would pass Ma house almost every day,blowing your horn,if we be outside,you pull up as we could cut up. You and I would dance and make up some dances if we didn't know them. I'm so sorry,that we didn't have the opportunity to say,see you later. You are now with your Mom.

Kenny, I honestly don't even know how to put this into words. You were one of those people who could walk into a room and instantly change the entire energy. Your laugh, your personality, your love, your presence... unmatched. You loved people so loudly and genuinely. It's almost impossible to understand that you're gone.
You're going to be so missed by every life you touched. I'm grateful for every memory, every laugh, and every moment I got to know you. You were truly a one of a kind person. I hope you knew just how loved you were. Your memory will be carried on "for s#!t sure!!" (as only Kenny would say)!! Rest easy KT💔
My deepest condolences to the Family,My Kids and My Bonus Kids. When I received the news of your passing, I was so lost,Trelle and my cousin had to tell me multiple times. I then had to go see for myself! My heart is broken again, I won't get those beep beep after you get off of work. Nor the anytime you stop by just to tell me you loved me. You was on my mind so heavy, I didn't get a reply back to our morning inspirational message.You became my bonus son at the age of 13, and after your mother passing when you was 15. I was thankful that your Grandmother and Grandfather allowed me the opportunity of having you as one of my Sons. Kenny,you broke our hearts even more than what they were. I miss you now and I know I'm going to miss you more in the coming days,weeks, months and years! I know you are a peace, you had a peaceful look on your face. You are back with your Mother. You and Tavarus make sure to watch over Rotrelle,he's lost at the moment yet we all must be okay... God doesn't make any mistakes. I Love You Son
