Kendall worked as a carpenter by trade, but his creativity spilled over into everything he did. His passions were many. He was a very gifted guitarist, creating, writing, teaching, and performing music. He was a fishing, boating, camping enthusiast. He was willing to greet the bass at sunrise, and put them to bed at sunset. His love of skateboarding in his youth, carried over into his recent fascination for “finger-boarding”, as shown in his hand-crafted skateboard park, built for his grandson. Kendall also spent many hours designing and building his O-scale model train layout, including lighted buildings and elaborate landscaping. He enjoyed competing in RC car and airplane competitions, and he expressed his creativity with personalized paint jobs and accessories. Recently, Kendall began a new hobby, riding dirt bikes with Laura and Landon. Kendall served as pit crew when Landon raced in motorcross, and took great pride in supporting and encouraging Landon’s racing. Kendall loved being outdoors, spending time with Landon, friends, family. He saw the good in everyone. Kendall loved life.
