  3. I love you Uncle Kenny, I’ll never forget the time we spent together when I was a young kid! Going to ball games with you and Daddy, coming over to your house and staying the night with Derek and Trevor. Going to the movies, fishing, shooting pool with you and Daddy. You always had a joke to tell, or a story. You was one of the funniest men I’d ever met! You always loved my kids and Daniel was just saying the other day how you worked with him teaching him how to hit the ball. Making fun of me because I called cranberry sauce(jelly)at our family dinners! I can’t believe that you are gone… I always looked up to you whether you knew it or not! I love you Uncle Ken, you may be gone on to a better place but you will NEVER be forgotten!

  6. It is with a heavy heart that I write these words regarding the loss of my friend and brother in Christ! Over these last months, I’ve been honored to have stayed in contact with Kenny during his courageous battle against cancer. Much like his days on the baseball diamond or basketball court, Kenny the competitor fought valiantly with everything that was in him! Not once did he complain to me about his circumstances, rather he always asked about how I was doing. Otherwise, the conversation almost always came back to his grandkids, my how he loved them! With this said, my friend, Kenny Patton, got off this planet alive in the one way that counts, in Christ! No more tears nor sorrow. So, to Kathey, the kids, grandkids, all of Kenny’s family please accept my heartfelt condolences, but please be of good courage and rest in the peace that passeth all understanding. All of you will be in my prayers in the coming weeks, months, and years! This last one is for Kenny, GO BRAVES!
