Kenneth Freeman was a loving husband that honored and cared for his wife Brenda for 48 years. Kenneth was a servant for and to the Lord as a member of Johnson Grove Church all of his Christian life. He was a dedicated helper and neighbor to all of his Brushy Pond community for almost 84 years. The Lord gave “our dad” the talents of music, farming, and truck driving. He touched many lives in his service stations where he was always obliged to serve each customer. All of his talents and skills were impactful and he passed so much of it onto all that knew him. Many were blessed to know him, especially, those of us that call him Dad and PawPaw.
