Kenneth was a graduate of Newport High School. He entered the Army in 1960, serving 30 years, during this time he met his late wife of 50 years. He served at Vietnam, Thailand, Germany, Italy, and France. His military career spanned during the majority of the Cold War, joining prior to the Berlin Wall being built, and retiring after it came down.

Kenneth reconnected with high school sweetheart, and married his wife of 8 years, Patsy Eubanks on January 5, 2015. They enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He was a member of the Central Arkansas Corvette Club; he and Patsy frequently traveled with friends to show cars.

Love leaves a memory no one can steal. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words.
