Private Kenneth J. Coburn

Kenny graduated from Hopkinton High School, Class of 2017.

He enlisted in the United States Army due to his strong desire to serve his country, as well as to pursue a career in diesel vehicle mechanics. After graduating basic training he was stationed at Fort Knox, KY and was a member of the 19th Engineer Battalion in the 20th Engineer Brigade.

In his short Military career, he enjoyed the challenges and accomplishments the Army experience provided him as a track vehicle mechanic, along with the many strong friendships he made with fellow soldiers. He was known as a hardworking dedicated soldier who displayed a passion for his work.

A loving and devoted, son and brother, Kenny was a source of pride and joy to his family and many who knew him.

Kenny spent his leisure time working on his beloved trucks, cars and motorcycle. He loved a healthy debate on issues of the day, but at the same time, loved to crack jokes and make people laugh. He was happy spending time outdoors with friends fishing, around a bonfire or lending a hand to someone in need.

He will be missed by many.
