After graduating high school, Kenneth enlisted in the Navy and proudly served his country. Right out of the Navy he began working in heating, cooling and refrigeration. After that he started working at Miller Transporter where he stayed until he retired. Being someone that loved to work he began a new adventure at Fred Robertson Wrecker Service, where “Goody” quickly became part of the family. He loved driving his rollback and talking to anyone he met. He will be missed by everyone that knew him.

Pallbearers will be Jimmy Robertson, David Robertson, Harley Ryland, Clint Gilliland, Shawn Keller, and Mike Cranmore.

Honorary pallbearers are Fred Robertson Wrecker Service, Dr. Kevin Katona and staff, CICU Nurses and caregivers, and Hospice of West Alabama.
