George Lee Kenyon

Born on December 6, 1932, in Providence, Rhode Island, George was the beloved son of Agnes Veronica Carlos Kenyon and Francis Sault Kenyon. He was preceded in death by his wife, Phyllis E. Kenyon, his twin brother William J. Kenyon, and his parents.

George lived a life rooted in service, faith, and kindness. He proudly served in the United States Army and was honorably discharged before beginning a long and dedicated career with the Santa Fe Railroad. Even in retirement, George continued to give back—volunteering for decades with the Knights of Columbus, St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, and at American Family Fields of Phoenix, where he greeted spring training fans with his signature warmth.

His deep compassion for others and quiet generosity touched countless lives. Whether through his church, his community, or simple everyday acts of kindness, George lived by example—a legacy of service, humility, and heart.
