Kenny Gibbs Obituary

Kenny was a great guy. I lost Liljohn just 2 years later. They were the best of friends and great motorcycle buddies. Both are missed every day.

Please accept my condolences. I met you when my dad John B, Lil John, sent me to buy your leather jacket, still in perfect condition. I have since passed on to my daughter. My dad spoke of you both often, like you were family. It is hard to know that he lost such a great friend.

Shirley............Am so sorry to hear, from Floyd Frame, about Kenny's passing. He was a good friend, and fan. Many good memories of our associations with you and Kenny while we still in the Springs and am so sorry we didn't get together while you were here in Arizona. Cheers to you Shirley. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Dan

Shirley, Randy & Jeff and families
Gloria, Paul and family

Our heartfelt condolences go out to you all. God gave us a very special man in Kenny. We have lots of good memories of family and holidays dinners and good times as our kids were growing up.

Dear Shirley and Family:
So sorry to hear about Kenny. He was a great guy. He and Liljohn had many a great conversations and of course he sold us several bikes. Motorcycle world has suffered a great loss and it will be hard to replace someone with his passion for the sport and his happy go luck approach to life. Both of us will miss him. He was never one to turn down a request for help or information on motorcycles or travel.
I know I hated to see Liljohn stop by the shop as I knew Kenny would sell him something. Kenny was responsible for my black 82 Silverwing that we bought and I rode for the 1st time for 0ver 4,700 miles after only being on a bike for about 10 hours of total riding. It matched the black Goldwing that Kenny sold Liljohn only a few months before. Again our sincere condolances. Liljohn & Kathryn

Randy; so sorry about your dad. If you need anything here in sun city, let me know. Rick Frick glendale az.

Dear Shirley and Family, Kenny will be missed by all that knew him, he was a super nice person. Our family have known Kenny since my uncle Doug Rice played music with Kenny many years ago. Our prayers are with all the family in these difficult times. Kenny will be missed by many.----Buddy Rice

Shirley:
I am but one of the thousands of people in Colorado Springs that were saddened by the news of Kenny's death. I bought many motorcycles from Kenny and I have met you on a few occasions at Apex. I do intend to attend the service here in Colorado Springs. Will think of you both always.

Shirley and family,
Our condolences on your loss. We feel blessed to have been able to get to know both Kenny and you. We were struck by what a warm and kind man he was and saddened to learn of his passing. God bless you and your family.

My thoughts are with Kenny on his journey. My heart is with you at his loss. Without both of you, there would be a big hole in my life..Love and prayers to you, Shirley, and to the boys.

I hope your wings let you fly high on your bike. I hope you embrace the ones you lost and I hope you watch over those of

Shirley:
We will truly miss this guy, one of a kind. You two were an inspiration to many of us as how you did things together and were a loving couple. You two always helped us at the Power Riders Motorcycle Club to get things going smoothly. Kenny was a very kind and generous man and always fun to be with. Thanks for being part of our lives. Kenny will truly be missed.

Shirley:
Sorry if this is double posted, but I don't think it took the first one.
Two major things come to mind for me:
1). Seeing Kenny run around that showroom at 71 yrs as if he was 20 yrs. A real inspiration to me! Hope I am able to do the same!
2). "Gettin' old aint for sissies." How true!
I will love the man always, as will anyone who has been lucky enough to know him.
May you find peace Shirley.
