Kenny started his career as a licensed Ag Pest Control Advisor at Sequoia Feed & Farm Supply. He excelled in his profession for many years. The weekend were very special: Barbequing was his specialty! We can still taste the chicken today, (especially after Grandma Tolbert went out to take care of those chickens).
He took pride in and enjoyed his garden immensely. Some say he had a green thumb. He loved to share his vegetable with family and friends. Above all else, he was an avid outdoorsman; hunting, fishing, golf and an "occasional" game of cards. He also enjoyed bible study, and playing Bible Trivia. He loved them all, and he loved his family. We will miss him greatly.
Kenneth is survived by his son Mark (Pam) A. Tolbert; and his son Corey (Shelley) Ellis Tolbert; his sister Judy Donahue; his special longtime friend & companion Patty McRae.
Kenneth was preceded in death by his father Roy Ellis Tolbert; his mother Doris Etta Pennington; son Darren M. Tolbert and his son Larry Wayne Tolbert
Kenneth also leaves 4 grandchildren (Ashley, Gavin, Josh and Jared) and 6 great grandchildren who will forever cherish his memory.
