Kenny's life was a testament to dedication and service. A Staff Seargent in the United States Marine Corps, Kenny served his country with honor.

His love for motorcycles was matched only by his love for his friends and family.

Kenny's kindness and generosity touched so many lives. His actions spoke volumes about the man he was. He didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand and expected nothing in return. His infectious laugh, his fun-loving and mischievous disposition made for good times and greater stories.

Kenny was preceded in death by his partner Brenda Plunkard; his parents, Bob & Peg Jones; his brothers, Dale Wayne & Dave Jones; & his son, Doug Jones. He is survived by his loving sister Sue Hogue; three cherished nieces, Aaryn Hogue, Lindsy Hogue, & Ashleigh Malinowski; two great-nieces, Madison & Elin; & two great-nephews, Ulrik & Ulf. Kenny's love and legacy live on in his family, who will forever hold his memory close.

In accordance with Kenny's wishes, there will be no funeral service. We invite all who knew and loved Kenny to honor his memory by cherishing each moment, extending kindness, and living life with the same passion and generosity he so effortlessly embodied.
