Kenneth Earl George was born on April 9, 1949, in Fort Dodge. For 6 years Kenny served his country in the National Guard. On December 28, 1973, he was united in marriage to Ann McElroy at the St. Matthews Catholic Church. The couple lived near Moorland until they established their home on their family farm in Clare. Kenny farmed his entire life and for 25+ years owned and operated Cryder Well Company. He was a member of Holy Trinity Church. In his free time, Kenny enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. He was often found savoring a cup of coffee, trying his luck at gambling, hitting the golf course, or simply enjoying a leisurely drive to check the crops. These were the moments he cherished, and they reflect a man who knew how to find contentment in everyday activities.

Kenny will be deeply missed by his family and friends. His presence brought warmth and a quiet strength to those around him, and his memory will be treasured forever.

Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.
