Kenneth Swink

Kenneth James Swink, affectionately known as Kenny or Lil Kenny, passed away on February 9, 2024, at the age of 51 in Richardson, Texas. He was born on July 15, 1972, in Sacramento, California. Kenny was a son, father, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and friend, but above all, he was a devoted follower of Christ.

Kenny is lovingly remembered by his parents, Jan and Kenneth Swink; his son, Levi and his siblings, David & Tammy Williams, Donny & Aimee Schlie, Kelly & Angelica Swink, Catrina & Karl Marshall, Melissa Swink & Neil Johnson, Joseph Swink, Simon Swink, Mary Swink, Jimmy & Ashley Swink and Jacob.

Kenny had a unique and eccentric personality. He had a remarkable ability to see the best in people and was known for his unwavering trust in others. Despite his quiet and reserved nature, he could effortlessly make friends with strangers in a matter of minutes. Kenny was a silent observer in the room, never passing judgment and treating everyone as equals. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, willing to give away his last dollar or the shirt off his back.

An incredibly talented artist and inventive thinker, Kenny had a resourcefulness that knew no bounds. He found contentment in the simple necessities of life and placed little value on materialistic things. He had a penchant for dressing up and looking his best, showcasing his unique style. Kenny possessed a brilliant mind that didn't conform to mainstream ideals, and he had a deep love for all movies especially Star-trek which he could watch all day. In intimate settings, he displayed a quick wit that never failed to bring laughter.

The service to celebrate Kenny's life will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, at Saint Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church, located at 1201 Alma Dr, Plano, Texas 75075.
