Kenny and Paula were married in August of 2001. They set up home in Dallas and settled into married life. They were blessed with their three children - Ainslee, Colton and Joshua who were the joys of his life. He was an active and involved father – participating in Ainslee’s Indian Princess YMCA tribe, helping Colton with his soccer skills or just tossing a ball with Joshua – Kenny loved his children deeply and enjoyed spending time encouraging and laughing with them.
