In the early morning hours of June 25, 2020, James Kenneth Lindsay passed from this life and received his eternal reward in heaven. Born on January 6, 1955, he was the second son of
Leroy Rufus Lindsay and Ida Mae (McLeod) Lindsay of Washington, D.C..
James affectionately known as “Kenney”, was nurtured in a christian loving environment filled with laughter and music. He always demonstrated a sweet, humble spirit and was well known for his easy going personality. At an early age he developed a love for comics which caused him to read quite fluently by the age of four. From Batman to Superman, Marvel to D.C , Conan to Sci-Fi and boxing circulars, Kenney was an avid reader willing to share his vast collection of comic books with whom ever was willing to read them.
Kenney matriculated through the District of Columbia public school system starting at Plummer Elementary, Gordon Junior High School later switching to Kelly Miller Junior High and completing his senior high school requirements at Eastern.
The family had a split membership between Mt. Pleasant Baptist where Leroy Senior with his melodious baritone voice sang with the Inspirationals a four piece harmonic group that would set any church on fire. Leroy Sr. also served as a Deacon and played musical accompanist for Baptist Training Union Class. Additionally, the family worshiped at First Rock Baptist, where Ida served in the Women's Choir and Grandmother Emma (Mrs. Emma McLeod) served as a Sunday School Teacher and Mother of the Church. This is where Kenney really began to shine, even without formal training his small sweet voice was able to move hearts with his rendition of “Saved”, that he sang lead with the Davis Sunbeams children choir.
Kenney continued on to a higher education starting at Federal City College later being renamed to University of the District of Columbia, where he majored in voice and music education. He had a beautiful baritone voice, much like his father and showed great promise in his classical and operatic training. He was one class shy of completing his degree when he began to re-evaluate his life and started a deeper study into God's word. At this time he joined the New Apostolic Church where he served as a Deacon and Choir Director until a conflict of scheduling precluded him from meeting these obligations.
Kenney joined the Department of Corrections and began serving at the Lorton Facility. He was later transferred over to the District of Columbia Jail and completed many details. He served as a Prison Librarian assisting inmates with their cases. He served on the Transport Unit detail escorting inmates to different jurisdictions in the DMV. He served in the now defunct District of Columbia General Hospital and the Finger Printing Staff located at the “U” Street Office.
On September 19, 1998, he married Deborah Ann Simmons at First Rock Baptist Church and the couple made their home in Landover, Maryland. Kenney loved to garden he was always battling the local wild life for eating his vegetables. He also loved to travel from state to state and country to country and enjoyed seeing new and different things. During this season the Lindsays moved to Fort Washington, Maryland and prayed to God to expand their family. God answered their prayers.
On January 30, 2009, God graced Kenney and Deb with a beautiful blessing. He was named Benjamin Hilliard Seth Lindsay. Kenney really loved seeing life through Benjamin's eyes and poured into him everything that he valued most. Though he was classically trained, jazz was his favorite expression of music. You could tell the mood of the day depending on which artist was featured. John Coltrane, rough day, Thelonius Monk, so so day, Miles Davis, pretty good day, but it was a great day when the incomparable Nancy Wilson was heard blaring loud and strong. He would spend many hours explaining to Benjamin what made each of these artist so special.
Jazz was his first love, but anyone who knew him well, knew boxing was his favorite subject. No one top that list of contenders more than Mohammed Ali. Kenney admired many of the great pugilist but Ali always remained his ideal of boxing perfection. Quiet as it's kept Kenney tried his hand at boxing, but couldn't get pass that glass jaw. He would say, “Light on my feet, but I'm a loose lots of teeth”.
Kenney radiated with pride in Benjamin achieving his black belt with an orange star but most important Kenney poured his love of Jesus Christ into Benjamin and the importance of the power of prayer. Family was a major priority for Kenney. As his nieces, nephews and God children began to grow achieving new heights he would reinforce to Benjamin “ The trail has been set, just follow the path”.
His chest would expand just a little wider over any of the Lindsay Kids accomplishment. However, none of them were ever excited about Uncle Kenney's cooking. They even made a special name for his creative dishes. In keeping with the “Star Trek” dialect. They called Uncle Kenney's cuisines “Tronja” because when you looked at it , nobody knew what it was. His famous mixture of cabbage with beans, sausage and potatoes could clear any room quickly, and while they all scattered, You could hear him yelling, “People been eating this for years, what's wrong with you!”
In 2000', Kenney applied to the Metropolitan Police Department as a Cell Block Technician where he was required to complete training at the DC Police Academy. He graduated first in his class. He served at 300 Indiana Ave Headquaters until being switched to Juvenile Division in 2013'. He made many lifelong friends from Central Cell Block and Juvenile Division, way too many to list. But he held a high admiration for them all.
Even as an adult, Kenny could take a good ribbing. He often roared with laughter after Benjamin mocked his walk, or call for his wife. But it was unanimously agreed that everybody had a story about his snoring. The family's favorite was “Hey Kenney, there's a moose at the door, she's calling for you”. He was a closet dancer because Benjamin told him don't take that act on the road. But every now and then he would let the wild man out and try to come as close as he could to the latest moves.
Kenny is proceeded in death by his Parents, Leroy and Ida Lindsay, his oldest brother, Robert Eugene Lindsay, his niece, Lauren Bethany Christian; Lifetime friend Warren Kent Jones; God son Gabriel Jones and his beloved cousin Milton McLeod.
He is survived by his wife Deborah and their son Benjamin (Hill) of Ft. Washington, Maryland; One brother Pastor Leroy R. Lindsay(Geraldine) of Cedar Heights, Maryland; One sister, Mrs. Ida J. Gilchrist of Ft. Washington, Maryland; Three brother-in-laws Texas L. Shipman(Patricia) Pine top, North Carolina; Willie N. Simmons, Landover, Maryland; Minister Donald L. Simmons(Amelia) of Lanham, Maryland; One sister-in-law, Ellon Louise Bishop of Upper Marlboro, Maryland and a host of Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, family and friends.
** Due to COVID-19 there will be no repass after the internment however, in safer times we will
extend an invitation of remembrance for James. “ The Family”
