During the first few minutes of Tuesday, Sept, 25, 2018, Kenneth Eugene Brown of Canton passed away unexpectedly at Troy Community Hospital. He was 66 years of age. Born Apr. 26, 1952 in Troy, he was the son of James D. Walburn and Susie Brown.
Kenny was a man blessed with a strong work ethic. Throughout his adult life, he was a tractor-trailer driver, construction worker and a farm hand until a disability necessitated his early retirement.
Kenny was a quiet man with the patience of a saint. He made friends easily and was always ready for some good-natured ribbing. He was also fond of sports on television. Among his favorites were Yankees baseball, Giants football and NASCAR. He was an avid fan of the late Dale Earnhardt Sr.
