Kenneth Richard

Love

If laughter truly is the best medicine, Kenny Love gave us all a lifetime prescription.

Born in Dallas, Texas, Kenny made his grand entrance on May 25th, 1953, and spent the next 71 years filling the world with humor, heart, and a perfectly smoked brisket. He peacefully passed away at home in Harlingen, Texas, on March 22, 2025, leaving behind a legacy as strong and steady as his favorite fishing rod.

A devoted husband to Mindy Love for 35 incredible years, Kenny was the backbone and resident jokester of a family that adored him. He is survived by his children: Korie (Ruben) Nieto, Cindy Morley, Michael (LaTanya) Cavazos, Cody Love, and Lianna (Addison) Smithwick — each one carrying a piece of his humor, warmth, and stubborn determination.

His grandchildren, Sophia & Emorie Nieto, Samuel Morley & Luke Bauman, Michael, Eli, Amina & Naima Cavazos, and his 9th grandchild, a baby girl arriving this September, were the absolute lights of his life who could do no wrong. Jaime (Bonnie) Love, a sweet nephew who was an extension of Kenny and Mindy's children. Kenny's brother, Bob (Patty) Love, along with numerous nieces and nephews, will miss his mischievous grin and the inevitable prank he always seemed to have up his sleeve. He is now reunited with his parents, Bill & Norma Love, his in-laws, Alonso & Josephine Aguilar, his brother Jim Love, and his brother-in-law, Rogelio Aguilar — surely catching them up on everything they missed.

For 20 years, Kenny owned and ran Incompliance, helping gas station owners across Texas keep their businesses running smoothly. But it wasn't just his work ethic that made him unforgettable — it was the way he made everyone feel like family.

Kenny was a man who found joy in the simple things: road trips with his family, fishing and hunting all day and night, and poker nights that stretched into the early hours. He had a knack for making the best out of every situation — whether that meant whipping up a feast for his loved ones or pulling off the perfect prank when you least expected it just to make you smile and laugh.

He'll be remembered for his quick wit, his unwavering loyalty, and the way he could light up a room. He never met a stranger — only a friend he hadn't told a tall tale to yet.

Kenny Love didn't just live life — he loved it, wrung every bit of joy from it, and made sure those around him did too. His laughter will echo in our hearts, his jokes and witty sayings will live on in family legend, and his spirit will forever remind us that life's too short not to laugh until your cheeks hurt.

A celebration of Kenny's life — full of stories and laughter, will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 2:00PM at Trinity Funeral Home, doors will open to all guests at 1:30PM.

As Kenny would say, "Well sh*t, don't cry because it's over — laugh because you knew me."
