Although his occupation as a union painter often led to travelling the county, he considered the Moberly area his home.

Kenneth was a devoted father of two children Kamryn Kirkendoll and Gage Kirkendoll (deceased). Kenneth was very involved with his family. He was known for just showing up and being there to help whenever anything was going on and needed to be done. Kenneth was known for being the life of any gathering. He always had a big grin and a laugh to share wherever he went. He was known for drafting participants into crazy adventures because he feared nothing! 

Kenneth was preceded in death by his son, Gage Kirkendoll of Huntsville, MO and his grandfather, Kenneth E Kirkendoll (Donna) of Jacksonville, MO and dearly loved Aunt and Uncle, Mary and Leo McGrew of Lee's Summit, MO.
