Kenny traveled throughout his career but always called Macon home, He loved the simple life and wasn’t impressed with material things. He was a talented artist who enjoyed painting and carving things out of wood that reflected his admiration and respect for the American Indians.

His love of old cars and trucks was a passion that he followed up with until his death. His true passion was his love of the river and fishing.
