Kenneth was born in New Orleans on Nov. 16, 1958. He graduated from Riverside Academy and attended Southeastern Louisiana University. Kenneth had a strong interest in local history and enjoyed reading on the topic.

He also enjoyed outdoor activities, especially hunting and fishing, and was happiest engaged in these activities. He was a very sensitive man with a big heart that felt life deeply – both the good and the bad.
