Sorry to hear about Kenny. Knew he had been in ill health for a while. Glad you are at peace now. I'll tend to remember a younger Kenny from Pembroke High School and his 1969 Corvette with black diamond interior. May God with you.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Shearon. I am the Podiatrist who has been treating his feet/legs for the past 2 years. We had a special relationship and would routinely spend several extra minutes talking together as he sucked on a piece of candy I would save for him. My thoughts and prayers to his extended family. I will miss him for sure.

Ms. Marty and Family: We are so sorry for your loss. I remember our times at your house when we sat out in front of your house and spent hours outside in the spring and summer just visiting and having a great time. Those are times to remember. Kenny will be greatly missed. We will certainly miss seeing him. Always remember the good times that you both spent together.

Oh, my Kennikins, we got into so much trouble over the years! Whether it was racing around the back yard on your mini bike, or me tagging along when you went to shoot hoops at Bud Finch's, or shoot pool at Bernie's or work on your go-kart at Laddie Jones, I know I drove you batty because I was always in your face. I loved you so much, I didn't want to let you out of my sight! I'll miss you coming to the house and opening the fridge, asking "what have you got good to eat?" You were the best uncle/big brother a girl could ask for and this huge, Kenny-sized hole in my heart won't ever heal. Love you, Pete!
