Assistance For Kenny’s Final Journey

Donation protected
Our family is completely devastated by the very sudden and tragic loss of Kenny. We are all in shock and trying hard to make sure Kenny is cared for with the respect and dignity he so well deserves. We are creating this page to ask for monetary help for our family as we are not financially prepared to deal with what lies ahead.

As most of you know, Kenny was living in Mexico City when he was brutally murdered by his husband last Sunday, along with 2 of his 3 dogs. Due to a pending homicide investigation, it has created an international, logistical nightmare that my Karen and Renai are currently in Mexico dealing with. There is a tremendous amount of financial obligations to be dealt with as far as hiring interpreters, a funeral home, lawyer, bringing Kenny’s surviving dog back home as well as his belongings…. The list keeps getting longer everyday.

We believe Kenny’s wishes are to be cremated. However, due to the nature of his death, the Mexican police will not allow cremation to happen in Mexico. It is our understanding that he will need to be repatriated and the cremation done in the US. This will be the biggest expense of them all. The process of figuring this all out will take some time. Once the logistics have been handled, we will start to work on Kenny’s memorial service so we can all come together to celebrate the beautiful person he was.

Kenny was an amazing person who made such a huge impact on so many people’s lives. His fun-loving, compassionate, and quick-witted personality was truly one of a kind and he will be sorely missed by his family and friends. Kenny is survived by his daughter, Lauren, his parents, Pat and Jean, his two younger sisters, Karen and Renai, and has finally been reunited with his deceased brother, Ronnie. Kenny has a large extended family and many friends who were so special to him and that he loved so dearly.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your donations. Everything has been so overwhelming and it’s hard to get back to everyone individually, but please know your donations are greatly appreciated. We understand if you are unable to financially contribute, and we appreciate your love and support.

Lastly, this is the official page for donating money to our family to ensure all funds remain organized and can be used effectively. Please share.
