Kenny could lift your mood with a smile.
He could brighten your day with a joke.
And if you had the honor of talking with him even for a minute, you had a lifelong friend.
Our hearts are so saddened by losing you, but at the same time will always be filled with your humor, laughter, unending kindness, warmth, and compassion. We will carry on knowing that you are in a better place and will forever keep the wonderful memories shared with you.
We love you and miss you so much Kenny.
With all our love,
Matt, Steph, Vince, and Leo.

I have so many fond memories of Bryan's dad and family while growing up in Rochester. At times I probably spent more time at their home than mine :) I always remember Kenny with his contagious smile and all around friendly demeanor. I always felt welcomed to be around his family even if I may have out worn my stay at times. Great man that will be missed so much by all that ever had the privilege to know him.

What does someone say after the loss of a loved one…. Many things come to mind but the most obvious is death is a part of life. But I never cared for that phrase.
I’d rather think we are born to Love, help and care for others. Overly optimistic, perhaps, but true. Kenny did that to the fullest.
Kenny married his childhood sweetheart. Raised two wonder children that gave him five grandchildren and three (approaching 4) Great grandchildren which he adored very, very much.
Along with that he worked many years to provide for his family. Even with all that, he made time to talk, laugh tell amazing stories and light up the life of countless individuals that were fortunate to meet him.
There is never an easy way to say goodbye, so I chose not to. Until we met again my dear friend you will always be in our thoughts and the memory of you being on this Earth will never ever be forgotten.
As always may the God of Peace and Love be with and your Family this day and always.
Love you….(More)…..until we met again.
John, Lori and Em

So very sorry to hear from my brother Aaron that Mr. Wilkinson has passed away. It has probably been more than 30 years since I had seen him, but I always remember his friendly smile and demeanor. The Wilkinson’s always made my brother feel like family and Brian was like our family, too — often at our house. My deepest condolences to the family for your loss. Praying for you at this difficult time. 🙏🙏🙏

Though we'd just met at Lutheran, your family has been on my mind frequently during this last week. I was leaving after visiting my dad Friday evening when I saw yours was passing. Prayers for comfort in the upcoming days!
