Kenneth was born on January 28, 1936 in Hereford, TX to Flora & C.F. Homfeld. He graduated from Adrian High School in 1956. Kenneth was later drafted into the Army, where he was stationed at Ft. Lee, Virginia until he was honorably discharged in 1965.
He grew up on the Homfeld family farm, which is located 30 miles southwest of Adrian. After returning from the military, he started working for the Bridwell Ranch in Adrian and helped Tom Hall’s family in Amarillo and Hereford. He married Buna Lee in 1969 in Amarillo and lived and worked on the Homfeld family farm. After Buna’s passing in 1987 and his mom’s passing in 1988, he continued to stay and help his dad, C.F and brother, Jerry on the farm. He moved to Amarillo and married Joyce Warren in 2003. He belonged to the Victory Church and Cowboy Church in Amarillo. He loved helping other people when he could. After Joyce’s passing in 2011, he moved to Independent Village in Amarillo and enjoyed the company of those living there. He always enjoyed helping someone to move, playing cards, or eating out with his friends, and they became a “special” family to him. In 2018, he was moved to the Heritage Convalescent Center in Amarillo, where he stayed until his passing. The nurses and staff were great to take care of him.
He was preceded in death by his parents Flora & C.F., first wife Buna, brother Lloyd, second wife Joyce and stepson Johnny.
He is survived by his step-children; Sharon Jefferies of Tennessee and Bill Homfeld of Houston; grandson, Jim Dale Etheredge of Amarillo, sister; Glenda Sifford of Friona, brother; Jerry and Mariellen Homfeld of Herford, nephews; Kevin and Shalla Sifford of Vega, Ryan and Rashel Sifford of Little Elm, Roy and Tracy Homfeld of Farmersville and Will and Sidney Homfeld of Miami, Barry Homfeld and niece; Kristy and James O’Malley of Vega. He had several great nieces and nephews.
