Kenneth Lee Denney, 71, passed away in the comfort of his own home in Clark, Feb. 28, 2024. Kenny was born on Feb. 14, 1953 in Powell, Wyoming to David and Elmarie (Badura) Denney as the third of six children. He graduated from Belfry High School in 1971. He attended Northwest College for a couple semesters but his heart called him back to the family farm.
He had already found his passion and was dedicated to agriculture. He spent most of his time in his John Deere tractors and taking care of the dairy calves. He always had a smile on his face no matter the task. He was always looking for ways to better things around the farm and not scared of the work to complete it. He also served on the Sirrine and Clarks Fork Irrigation District for years. During the last couple months Kenny really enjoyed driving his truck around the community, visiting friends along the way. If he was not driving his truck you would find him in his gator, driving around checking to make sure everything was getting done. He will truly be missed by family and the community.
He was preceded in death by his parents David and Elmarie Denney and classmate and dear friend Allan Hergenrider. He is survived by his five brothers; Larry Denney of Clark; Ron (Katy) Denney of Star Valley Ranch; Edward (Tina) Denney of Clark; Alan Denney of Clark; Jerry (Joann) Denney of Clark; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mass of Christian Burial services will be held Thursday, March 7 at 10 a.m. at St. Barbara's Catholic Church. Burial will be in the Belfry Cemetery.
A luncheon will be held at the Belfry Senior Center following the graveside service at the Belfry Cemetery.
