Kenneth Earl Pope

Kenneth was born on October 10, 1960 to Jack and Esther Pope. Ken grew up in McComb, MS where he and his sisters shared many memories and made several life-long friends. He later moved to Jackson, MS and met the love of his life, Evonne, at the Sunflower where they both worked. Ken and his wife shared 39 years of marriage and two loving children.

He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and camping with his family. He also found pleasure in restoring vintage stereo equipment, listening to music on his record player, and playing with his two dogs, Marley and Summer. Ken was one of a kind and will be dearly missed by so many.

Kenneth is survived by his wife, Evonne Pope; daughter, Stephanie Pope; son, Garret (Jessi) Pope; sisters, Jackie (Kevin) Griffin and Tammy Pope; grandchildren, Bentley, Mason, and Swayze Pope; father-in-law, Mike Woods; sister-in-law, Robin Clark; brother-in-law, Brian Woods; and several other family and friends.

Kenneth is preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Esther Pope; and mother-in-law, Joyce Woods.
