He graduated from Grant High School in 1991 & joined the Marine Corp, where he served until honorably discharged in 1999 with rank of Sergeant. Kendell’s greatest pride in life was having served his county as a Marine.

Kendell was a loving man with a generous heart & a spirit for giving to others. His greatest passion was cooking, baking & cake design-decorating. Particular importance was placed on the cake or anything else he made, looking as pretty as it was delicious.
