Kenneth grew up in the Fairview, Okla., area where he attended school. His high school years were spent at Oklahoma Bible Academy. Kenneth later attended Grace College Of The Bible in Omaha, Neb. He would earn his undergraduate degree at Phillips University in Enid, Okla., and in 1961 he received his MD doctorate from the University of Oklahoma.
During his time at OU, he met Laura Barnard, and they married in 1957.
Following his internship, Kenneth joined the U.S. Public Health Service, and did a family medicine residency in Galveston, Texas. From 1967 to 1974, he practiced medicine in Westville, Okla. He would eventually retire from medicine after practicing several years at Fayetteville, Ark.
Kenneth always enjoyed staying active in the church wherever home was at the time. He got much enjoyment out of teaching Sunday school classes. He was involved in the church building projects, and was an active member of the Gideons.
For relaxation, Kenneth enjoyed cattle farming and going on fishing trips, some of those even taking him as far as Canada.
