I was saddened to hear of Kenny’s passing. What a wonderful man . I grew up around the corner from Carolyn and Kenny’s house and I can remember his perfect yard, his fabulous, hand-made, holiday yard decorations, and his kind and sincere heart. He always had a kind word to say to everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with Carolyn and his family.

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Lockhart family. Growing up, the Lockharts were like a second family to me that opened their home to me for sleepovers and even took me on vacation to Disneyworld. Kenny loved the outdoors and I remember him taking Andy and I to fish the DOT lake while he worked. He should be proud of the family he raised and the people he affected during his life. May he rest with God.

Ken was a neighbor of ours for a short time but we sure had a good time with him. He enjoyed his yard so much and was willing to give me tips for my yard. Ken volunteered to mow a portion of my yard that was hard for me to get to. He was always friendly and interested in what was happening with us and the other neighbors.
We will surely miss him our backyard chats over the fence with him!. J and C Welch
