            Kenneth was born December 29, 2004, in Union County, NC, and was the youngest child born to Renee Taylor and Mitchel Lee Brown. He was currently employed with Papa Joes in Wadesboro and was a senior classman at Anson High School.

 

            He was recently recognized by the Town of Wadesboro while doing an internship with the maintenance department and he was looking forward to being an employee with the Town of Wadesboro following graduation.

 

            Kenneth enjoyed playing golf and spending time at the lake with his family and friends. He never met a stranger and had a great personality. He had a huge heart and would give anyone the shirt off his back. He enjoyed his co-workers and Papa Joes, as well as, getting to know the customers there.

 

            Most of all, he accepted Christ as his savior and was baptized at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church where he was a member.
