He was the oldest of three children. In 1947, he left Mississippi for Chicago, IL, which is where he met and married Jeanette (Kuykendall) Cunningham and they had three children. Jeanette preceded him in death in 1992. In 1998, Cunningham moved his youngest child (from a previous relationship) and himself to Louisville, KY. On June 24, 2013 at 6:55 p.m., the sun set on Cunningham at the age of 79 years old.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to all of his friend's at Community Towers, Gentiva, all of those who cared for him at University of Louisville Hospital, and Kraft Funeral home.
