Kenny was a very generous person. He always took time to talk to people. He was a people person. He loved his family with all he was. Family was always important to him. Yes, he had many stories, and they way he told them made you vividly see them. I will miss you dearly, and will love you forever brother! Always praying for you in life and death. I know I will see you again. Until then..Kelly Camacho
