Kenneth was a carpenter with Local 973 in Texas City until he went to work for Amoco Oil in 1988 as an operator in the Coker unit. He enjoyed riding his tractor, planting trees, and feeding the fish in his pond with his grandchildren. He also enjoyed fishing and his classic cars.
Due to Covid-19 a memorial celebration will be held at a later date when it is safe to gather. In Kenneth’s memory, the family would like you to do something special with your own family because we never know how much time we have.
Ginger you and your family have been in my prayers always and even more so now since I’ve learned of Kenneths passing . I’m so sorry for your loss and no words can express how difficult this must be for you, Dayna, Melissa and Jody and all your grandchildren. I pray for the comfort only God can give to those who mourn. Know that you and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers always.
Thank you Elaine! Yes this has been very difficult for all of us, but at least we know he is at peace now.

Dayna, John and I are so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. Nicole (your sister-in-law) told us the news and forwarded his obituary to us. Although we did not know your father, please accept our sincere condolences to you and your family. As I lost my own Dad back in 2003, one thing I know is that no matter how bad it gets, you are never ready to let a parent go. Again, we are so very sorry for your loss.
