Kenneth trained as a master tailor in Jamaica W.I. and came to the New York City in 1959. He was a loving and caring man. While in the U.S., Kenny continued to care for family and friends in the island.

He was also survived by three grandchildren: Nyala, Reni and RayRay, three step grandchildren: Patricia, Carolina, Oscar, an ex-wife, Sylvia; four great grandchildren, his sister-in-law Linnette Dawkins, many nieces, nephews, and friends worldwide.
