So sorry that Kenny has passed. He was an icon to Eudora. He was loved by many. Prayers to his family.
Kenny was such a hard-working guy. He dug graves by hand for a couple decades in Eudora and surrounding rural cemeteries. He also worked hard for years at cutting firewood. I always appreciated Kenny’s sense of humor, his grin, and his willingness to do tough jobs. He was very dependable. Rest in peace Kenny. You have worked hard and deserve it.
Kenny Bryant was like a father to me
He treated me like family
I admired his work ethic, his words of wisdom, and his humor
Pappy taught me a lot about the outdoors, from gardening to hunting and fishing
He will forever be in my heart
RIP Pappy

I love you Uncle Kenny…it’s your “Birthday Niece”, Cheri. I miss you very much and how much fun we all had when we got together. My Dad, Danny, thought the world of you too. You built Hydroplanes together and I remember watching and ya’ll letting me help. You were so kind. I’m proud to say you were my Great Uncle. I wish you and my Daddy were both still here.
Love Always,
Cheri Herman Lynch
