Kenny,
We’ll always remember your laugh and your cheer,
The sparkle in your eye when good times were near.
If someone said, “Shall we head out tonight?”
You’d be up in a flash—your jacket on tight!
You knew how to live, how to savour each day,
From a pint with a friend to a walk on the way.
Your Geordie charm warmed hearts near and far,
Be it Holland, or Germany—you were always the star.
A painter by trade, and an artist at heart,
You turned every wall into a beautiful part
Of a home full of colour, of care, and of pride—
With every brushstroke, your joy couldn't hide.
You taught us that work can be done with delight,
That a job done with love will still shine bright.
So thank you for every wall, every hue—
But most of all, Kenny, for simply being you.
