Kenneth was born on November 26, 1989 a son of the late Kenneth McDonald Jr. and Diane Burwell in Watertown, NY. He graduated from Ogdensburg Free Academy in 2007. Throughout his career in Florida, he worked maintenance on high performance cars in Orlando, worked for Stable Concrete in St. Petersburg, and Aquatic Plant Removal in Tarpon Springs, but his favorite job was welding on cellular towers, which was a travelling job where he worked in many different states.
Kenny loved fishing for anything and everything, whether it was in freshwater or salt water, and could always be found by the water. He was a NY Yankees and NY Mets fan, enjoyed working with his hands, working on engineer-motivated projects, and any project dealing with cement. Kenny was fun, extremely loving and honored his relationships with his friends and family, especially to his niece Kaitlyn, to which he was a great uncle.
