Kenny spent many years in public service including roles as: two term Davidson County Commissioner, Board Member of the NC Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, President of Piedmont Triad Partnership; and various other local community organizations.  He was a member of Abbotts Creek Missionary Baptist Church, and served in many leadership roles such as a church deacon, Sunday school teacher, and Challenge to Build project.  He was a true public servant and had a deep love for his native Davidson County, his lifelong place of residence.

He had great passion for horses and won many ribbons showing his beloved Tennessee Walking Horses.  He also had amazing enthusiasm for racing, boating, gospel music, and spending time with his lifelong friends.  Above all, Kenny found the greatest happiness in his grandchildren.  Nothing gave him more joy than spending time exploring the outdoors, taking tractor rides, and viewing wildlife with his grandkids Wells, Shepard, and Jordan.
