Kenny lived in Swan River for a few years before relocating to Tisdale, Saskatchewan in 2012.

Everyone you talk to all say the same thing that Kenny was a very kind, caring, giving person. He had a heart of gold. He would give his last of anything if you needed it. He loved his family and would always try to have get togethers, always had words of advice for you if you needed it, always had a smile on his face.

Kenny loved his sports but especially baseball. He travelled to a few places over the past couple of years to watch his brothers; Rodney and Kevin, along with Uncle William, his cousin Blair play fastball. He also had his own slow pitch team “Red Hawks”. He also loved to play cards, Texas Hold’em.
