Obituary

Kenny took his last breath in the twilight hours of Saturday, June 3, 2017, at his childhood home in Irving, TX. He was 51 years old. The cause of death is known only to his Maker at this time. Kenny was born on September 22, 1965, at Methodist Hospital in Dallas, TX, to Patty and Bob Bolton. Bobby, having barely survived a 42' fall, held his son for the first time with casts on his arms. Family life began by settling in Irving to recover with lots of help from grandparents. He and his sister, born 2.5 years later, grew up together, attended school and built life-long friendships in the Irving area. Kenny's passion was being outdoors from a very early age. He loved riding his bike, climbing trees, swimming, fishing and playing all types of sports. He excelled in baseball and played for the YMCA as well as city leagues for many years. Happy times with his dad included camping and fishing trips throughout his years in Boy Scouts. He loved the hunting trips and spending time with his Papaw Smith. Kenny learned to play the violin, saxophone as well as guitar. He truly loved all genres of music. Above all he loved to make people laugh and was kind hearted. When his parents parted ways, he just wanted to save his dad from alcoholism. As soon as he finished high school he moved to DeSoto, TX, to live and work in the Bolton family construction business as an iron worker and welder. Instead of saving his dad, he was drawn into addiction. It Really began in high school experimenting with marijuana and alcohol then moving to pain killers and worse over the years. The biggest blessing of all is we know he was a Christian. He accepted Jesus Christ as is Lord and Savior and was baptized on January 13, 1985, at Plymouth Park Baptist Church in Irving. He went on to marry twice and have three beautiful daughters. He later enjoyed working in the tree removal and lawn care business in southeast Texas as well as the DFW Metroplex area.
