Kenneth was born May 6, 1922 in Perkins, Oklahoma, the 8th of 10 children of Sylvester and Matilda Fagan.
He graduated from Perkins High School and attended school for Radio communications before entering the US Army Air Corps. He was stationed in the China, Burma, India theater during WWII as a Morse Code operator in the Signal Corps. He was honorably discharged with the rank of sergeant in 1946 and served in the reserves until 1949. Upon his return to Oklahoma, he met and married Wanda Norris in 1948 after a short courtship and entered the grocery business. Kenny and Wanda and their 3 sons moved to Dumas from Amarillo in 1966. He retired from the grocery business after many years and started his own construction and remodeling company.
