Nearby: Cotton Plant, ARKenneth “Kenny” McKinzy July 31, 1960- Nov. 3, 2026 Kenneth “Kenny” McKinzy was born on July 31, 1960, in Cotton Plant, Arkansas, and passed away on November 3, 2026, at St. Luke’s Hospital at the age of 66. Kenny was kind and fun-loving, and he had a soft spot for the blues and a good joke. When something tickled him, his laugh was so infectious that you’d find yourself laughing right along with him and smiling with joy for the rest of your day! His family will remember how sweet he was to them and how much fun he was to be around. We will sorely miss hearing that laugh. Kenny was a proud U.S. Army veteran who served two terms and saw combat during his second term of service. Kenny recently retired after 11 years with the Independence Avenue Community Improvement District. He helped with many community events and neighborhood efforts, and he took the most pride in overseeing the district’s recycling program.
