Kenny Smith was called home at the age of 49. He was an amazing father and was loved by all. He is survived by his children, Alexis Chavez-Smith, Kenneth Smith and girlfriend, Katie Balliett, Analicya Smith, Josiah Smith, Ezekiel Smith, and Noah Sanchez-Smith; mother of his children, Renee Chavez; and his brother, Joe Sanchez (Juju) and wife, Christina Sanchez. He was preceded in death by his mother, Maria Elena; uncle, Mel Aragon; and cousin, Martin Garcia.

Kenny was a hardworking man with many outstanding traits. He owned multiple businesses, his most recent being a construction company he started with his son, Kenneth James Smith III. He loved unconditionally, never missed an opportunity to be himself, and his personality always lit up the room. Kenny always overcame any obstacles that were put in front of him. He will always be loved and missed.
