Kenny was born on October 23, 1953, in Austin, TX to Kenneth Poehl and Barbara Reinhardt. He spent his years growing up with a baseball bat always in his hand and a fishing rod in the other. Oh how he loved both sports. Kenny’s greatest joys in life were spent outdoors with family and friends. He was an avid sportsman who enjoyed fishing in bass clubs, deer and bird hunting, and would not miss his grandkids softball practices, lessons and games for anything. He also took great pride in caring for his lawn, garden and fruit trees and always shared the produce with family.
Kenny, his wife and family enjoyed traveling adventures. They enjoyed fishing on local lakes and traveling to Colorado - all to get that “big” fish. Their most treasured adventure was on a cruise ship up the Alaskan Inside Passage with best of friends.
