Kenny was born in Nocona on December 15, 1963. He passed away on September 13, 2012 in Gainesville.

Kenny was a police officer in Denton County, then moved to New Mexico to continue working in law enforcement, which he loved. His joy was working on, restoring, and repairing automobiles, a trade that his dad taught him. Kenny was a very honest and humble man that loved the Lord; we know he is in much better hands with Jesus.

He is survived by his daughter Courtney Groves of Lake Dallas; daughter Faith Groves of Denton; son Kenneth Groves Jr. of Denton; father Grady Groves and his wife Lynda of Flint; special friends Kendall and Karen Blakey of Gainesville; and special friend and caregiver Ramona Puckett of Gainesville.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents Grady and Louise Groves Sr.
