I met Kenny and his Dad in Rockingham in 1991. He was, as I remember always smiling and had a friendly greeting for me when we would run into each other. RIP Kenny.

Re: Lost a great friend and racer.
 

Having been friends with Kenny since he was a very young man I am sadded to learn he has died. I had spoken to him recently and yesterday was talking with someone who was going to call him before I.

Kenny worked on every car I have raced including the custom paint and settting up the suspnsion . Kenny and I are most proud of the paint he has put on my current ride.

We talked often about life, family and spirituallity. Kenny had great love inside of him, he was my friend and will always have a special place in my heart.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Kenny, his mom and dad, Sherry and his children who he adored.

I think Sterling said it best " Paint the heavens and label it with Kenny's Kustom so we will know where to find you".

Rest in peace my friend and keep an eye for me.

So sorry to hear this news. Kenny was friends with Jim and he was so gracious after Jim passed to offer me any help I needed.

Until we meet again may gold hold you in the hallow of his hands. May god bless him and help guide his family through this hard time.

Re: Lost a great friend and racer.
 

This is very sad news indeed. For as good as he was a painter and racer, he was a much bigger human being with a huge heart.

I met Kenny, by accident, on my way home from the Peidmont divisional after it had been postponed from bad weather. My truck, trailering my car on the back, had just broke down on the I-40 in the rain and he drove past me, got off at the next exit only to drive back past me heading the opposite way just to come back around and help me out! While I was trying to figure out how to get this mess home, this man, whom I had known for 5 minutes now, offered to tralier my car to my house and didn't charge me a dime! Needless, to say, I brought him a case of his favorite beer to his shop and a new friendship was born. I only knew him for a short 3 years, but I'll be blessed if I ever meet a loving soul like Kenny's again. I am devastated by this news and my sincere condolences to his family.
