kenny remembered

I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny Mitchell approximately 13 years ago through my good and loyal friend Michael San Roman. I can honestly say that it was a real pleasure to have met him and known him throughout the years. He was a man who was always in good spirits and lived life to the fullest. Kenny reminds me of my son David who is always curious of his surroundings and never is shy to strike a conversation with anyone. I thank Kenny from down here for having joined my family in celebrating various occasions through the years. In particular, I appreciate him setting time aside to join me and my family in celebrating my 40th birthday in April 2007. His birthday gift I will always treasure forever.

Last but not least, I want to mention that I had one last opportunity to talk and to share some quality time with Kenny in December of 2007. After having performed some plumbing repairs at his home (which were long overdue), he later invited me to breakfast at Arthur’s restaurant. We mostly spoke about our overweight bodies and high cholesterol levels; however, our conversation did not stop us from eating our sausage and egg plates, with pan fried home-style potatoes; so much for our health conscious minds.
I will definitely miss Kenny, especially, our encounters at the “Busy Apron” restaurant from time to time. God bless you, Kenny, and thank you for your friendship.
Respectfully,
Enrique (Ricky) Chavez
