Kenneth Wayne May

October 19, 1949 - January 23, 2022

Kenneth Wayne May was born October 19, 1949 in Prescott, AR to Kenneth Byron and Mary Nell (Owens) May and passed from this life January 23, 2022 in Dallas, TX. Kenneth had a great interest for animals especially horses, which he had for many years. He always had a special dog which he spoiled and any stray cats became permanent residents. His interests went beyond animals. He loved Latino music (he really liked Latino women), he was a movie buff, and his favorites genre was SCIFI (yes, the man was a Trekkie). Some of his other interests included gardening, mechanical work, fishing, and carpentry. He didn’t drink alcohol, but would throw back a Diet Pepsi in a second. He not only kept his sobriety but cut calories at the same time. He retired after 40 years of service from the Dodge Manufacturing Co. He was also a dedicated reserve police officer for the city of Lancaster for approximately 17 years. This is something he took much pride in. He truly believed in the law. He was preceded in death by his parents. Kenneth is survived by his sister, Debbie Richmond and husband Steve; his niece, Jessica Richmond; his nephew, Phillip Richmond and wife Suzanne; his great nieces, Kelsie Richmond and Kyndel Richmond; his great nephews, Kevin Richmond and Ryan “Bubba” Richmond; and many beloved aunts and cousins.
