Above all, Kenneth's greatest joy was his family and extended family, including friends and neighbors who were "like family". He loved having everyone visit for annual events such as Easter egg hunts, July 4th fireworks, Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthday celebrations. He enjoyed boating and fishing, and while living in Melissa, he enjoyed golfing with his buddies at Hurricane Creek Golf Club.
