He was born May 11, 1955 in Bremerton, WA to Doyle Leslie & Beverlye (Gibbons) Leslie McDonald.
He was raised and received his education in Enumclaw, WA.
Kenny was diagnosed with brain cancer at 16 years old. He lost most of his eye sight and his short term memory as a result. He lived most of his life with his mother and sister in Renton, WA. The most impressive thing is that he always kept a positive attitude despite the disabilities he had to live with for most of his life.
He then moved to Wolbach, Nebraska where he spent many years and then ended up in Greeley, Nebraska where he lived out the rest of his days.
Kenny loved his family and was always ready with a joke to make people laugh. His family all say he was the funniest person they have ever known. He was so full of love. He enjoyed fishing, playing the spoons, walking around town and spending time with anyone he met along the way. He never knew a stranger and liked everyone. He will be dearly missed.
Those left to cherish his memory include a brother & sister-in-law, Michael & Tabetha McCoy of Sutherland, OR; an aunt, Sandra McIntyre of Greeley, NE; many loving nieces & nephews and his cousins that loved him like a brother.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Beverlye and a sister Kay Lynn.
