After discharging from the military, Kendall graduated from Oklahoma State University in Okmulgee with a degree in Electronic Engineering Technology. He was employed as a wire-line engineer with E & P Wireline services in Rosharon, TX.

Kendall loved life, loved to make people laugh and always wanted everyone around him happy. He was a great joke teller and never met a stranger. During his time on this earth, he touched many lives with his gentle spirit and caring heart. He loved to play golf, go camping, fishing, sit around a campfire and spend time with the people he loved. It was especially his desire to share his faith and love for his Lord, Savior and Friend Jesus Christ with those he came into contact with and truly wanted to be used by God to bless others. He was a member of the Cross Talk Sunday School class at First Baptist Church in Katy, TX for several years.

On November 21, 2009, Kendall married Angelia Rodrigues and God blessed them both with a beautiful, happy and God centered life together.
