Kenneth was designed with a unique personality, which made him tailor made. To know Kenneth is to love him. His uniqueness is what made him able to connect with such a diverse circle of friends. Family and friends may describe him as quite and reserved most times, once he warms up to you, you're guaranteed to meet La'Brease. He would greet you with long talks about factual events (we know he would argue something down if he knew he was right), loud laughs and enjoying the moment.

 He gained his early education with Gaston County School Systems where he later attended Warlick Academy. In, 2011 Kenneth became a proud graduate of the first graduating class of Warlick Academy. His determination was the driving force behind him taking part in this great milestone.

We give thanks to our Lord and Savior for his time with us. Kenneth La'Brease Hunter you are loved by many and will be greatly missed!
