Kenny was born in Lethbridge on April 2, 1949. After attending school, he worked on a farm and later spent several years in the oil patch around Taber. Most recently he worked at a hotel. Over the past couple of years his health began to deteriorate, forcing him to take residence at the St. Therese Villa in Lethbridge where he resided until his passing.
