He grew up on a farm northwest of Beaver City with his parents and helped with the chores and numerous jobs around the farm. He moved to town with his parents in 1968. He enjoyed going downtown to get the mail, groceries, & paying bills. He had a friendly hello and smile for everyone. He moved to Lexington, Nebraska in 1987, with this move came a job at South Central Developmental Services in Cozad. His job was very important to him because it gave him a chance to earn money, as well as dignity. This also gave him an opportunity to prove himself, as well as meeting and making new friends. The things in life and everyday living whether small or large meant a lot to Kenney, as he appreciated kindness, a smile, handshake, or a hug. That was something that all of us take for granted. He was one of God’s “Special People”. He is preceded in death by his parents, sisters Shirley Oertle.
