Mickey (JR) was the first born to Mickey Kenyon Sr and Brenda Kenyon. He was as headstrong as anyone could be. From the beginning of life pushing his way through any hurdle he came across. He enjoyed making people laugh from an early age. He liked being the center of attention at all times (even though he would tell you differently). He was the oldest child of 6. Even though he truly didn’t like not being the only child, He was a great big brother and took it very seriously that he was the one to care for all of us. JR didn’t know how to do anything in life the easy way. He did things his way and no other. Starting with many things as a child including making words his own. Our mom will say he had some speech issues as a younger child. I know that he just wasn’t going to let words control him and was going to make them his own. He continued the “his way only” way through adolescent years becoming a great skateboarder (even though it scared mom). I remember when we went to Moab and mom was trying to figure out whose crazy kid was all the way on the top of the biggest Arch in Arches National park. She was mortified when she realized that it was her crazy kid. He then had one of the biggest struggles of his life. He was hit by a car just a month before turning 13. We were told he would never come out of the coma. If he did he would never walk or function like a normal person. Let’s all face it; He was never a normal person anyway. He continued the “his way” attitude and proved every Doctor wrong. He not only recovered, he walked, talked, rode a bike, and even graduated from High school. Throughout the rest of his life he had many struggles to overcome. However, He overcame every one. The last few years of his life were the hardest ones to live after losing our dad. He was lost and really couldn’t find his way back. JR went into the hospital about 2 weeks ago with Kidney failure. He pursued treatment for a short time before deciding that he was ready to go home to the Lord and Dad. JR is preceded in death by his father Mickey Kenyon Sr, and both sets of Grandparents. He is survived by his Mom Brenda Kenyon, Sister: Renae (Jessy), Brothers: Joe, Matt, Benjamin (Savannah), Steve (Erika) daughter Brooklynn (2 grand kids) 4 nieces: Samantha (Joe), Bella, Leia, Veyda, 1 nephew: Atticus, 2 great nephews, and many other friends and family. JR was fun, spunky, and enjoyed everyone around him. I had my issues with him (as any brother and sister do) but I truly wouldn’t change having him as a big brother! He will truly be missed by everyone that knew him! We have peace knowing he is in a much better place. Enjoy the new legs and health until we meet again! We all love you!
