Kenneth Earl Higdon, Jr.
January 24, 2014
Kenny Higdon, age 59, a lifelong resident of Beulah, entered Heaven’s Gate Tuesday, January 21, 2014. He was born January 17, 1955, the first born son of the late Kenneth Earl and Peggy Higdon. He is survived by his brother, Jamey Higdon and Jamey’s wife Sue Higdon; nephew Jeremy Higdon (Bullfrog), and niece Emily Higdon (Princess Emily/ Moe, the apple of his eye); and many relatives and friends. He was a devoted son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend.
Kenny will be remembered by many and forgotten by few. He was a highly respected deep sea boat captain and fisherman. He knew where they were, and how to find where they hid. He was a giant of a man. To borrow one of Kenny’s unlimited reserve of sayings, he was “tougher than four kinds of nails”! But he had a heart so big it would be difficult to find someone who knew Kenny and did not love him.
Kenny lived an incredibly full life. His greatest loves were his family, fishing, boating, and serving as a cook extraordinaire for gatherings in Beulah, or wherever his boat was anchored. He was content sipping on a beverage, frying mullet, snapper, and shrimp and watching grateful diners enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Kenny’s friends from far and wide are so many they would overflow most auditoriums. If they all gathered in one spot and began recounting “Kenny” stories (most of which are suitable for mixed company), the tales would never end. Embellishment would not be necessary.
A visitation and memorial service celebrating Kenny’s life will be held Saturday, January 25th at Faith Chapel, 1000 S. Highway 29, Cantonment, Florida. Visitation will begin at 11:30 a.m.. The Service will begin at 2p.m.. Burial will follow at Beulah Baptist Church Cemetery. A fellowship will follow at “Kenyea’s on the Lake” on Beulah School Road. Messages of condolence may be posted at Higdonracing@aol.com.
FAITH CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME NORTH, 1000 Hwy 29S, Cantonment, FL is in charge of arrangements.
