Kenneth Tyree was born Sept. 20 1935 in Matoka WV.  As a child he loved working with his hands and continued to do so through out his life.  He married his one true love, Barbara Williams in 1953.  They went on to have 3 beautiful children together. 

Kenneth moved his family to Florida in 1960 and remained there for the rest of his life.  He enjoyed his family and hobbies more than anything.  Making guitars and playing music was his one true passion outside of his family.  He was self employed most of his life.  He was always a good provider with a heart of gold. 

He left this earth May 5, 2001 and is survived by his wife Barbara, his daughters Valerie and Amber and son Frank, along with 6 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. 

"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.”
