Uncle Kenny’s journey on this side is over, but his eternal ride has just begun….We will miss his wacky sense of humor, great big heart and willingness to lend a helping hand. May you rest in peace in the arms of our Lord…..we love you and send our prayer to all the family….
Dear Shirley, Teri & John,
Deepest sympathy on Kenny’s passing. I will always remember visiting your house in St. Croix Beach. RIP Kenny.
My sympathies and prayers for the entire Seymour family. Kenny was such a wonderful person. One of my favorite memories of Kenny was that he would plow an ice rink for us every winter in front of the Seymour house. Our neighborhood “gang” (John, Phil, Paul, Lisa & myself) would spend hours there skating and having the best time! Rest in peace, Kenny!
Love You Kenny Boy you have always been my Brother,Father and Uncle. I will see at the Eastern Gate of Heaven.
Uncle Kenny, We will miss you, but we know you are in a home that God has prepared for you for all eternity! John 14: 1. We ask that our dear Lord will give comfort to his wife Shirley, his children Teri and John. Also his sister Jackie and all of his family and friends! John and Tricia Hammer
