His mother fondly referred to him as “Sonny” up until her passing. Kenny has two brothers, Richard and Timmy along with 3 beautiful sisters Patricia, Janice and Judy.
In 1968 Kenny welcomed a daughter, Lisa Comley, who often referred to him as her “rock." Kenny would later go on to be a father figure to his stepchildren Michael Nelson, Ellie Williams and John Williams. He lovingly referred to his granddaughter, Brittney Comley, as “Britter” and had an unbreakable bond with his late grandson Joseph “Joey” Rocha. Kenny doted on all 8 grandchildren and great-grandson Carter.
Kenny is preceded in death by his wife Shelley Rose Comley. He shared the last 15 years with best friend and partner Marianne Van Hook while splitting their time between MO and her place in NC.

Kenny then moved down to Missouri to be a Business Representative out of Joplin.

He was an avid collector of coins and guns. He became a Noble of Shriners International in 2006.
