Kenny Barham II

With broken hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of our beautiful brother, son, uncle, friend-and yes, the undisputed favorite child - Kenneth Earl Barham II who left us on February 17, 2026 at the age of 55.Kenny was born May 2, 1970 in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, to Kenneth and Judy Dianne Barham. He was raised in Lafayette, Georgia, and Tyler, Texas, and graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in 1988.

Kenny was a truly beautiful soul. Generous to a fault, endlessly thoughtful, and funny as hell, he had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. His humor wasn't just quick-it was legendary. A lifelong practical jokester, he kept everyone on their toes, always ready with a prank, a grin, or the perfect one-liner. If you were around him long enough, you were probably the target of one of his jokes-and you loved him for it.

He was the person you could count on without hesitation. If you needed help, he showed up. If you needed advice, he listened. If you needed to laugh through tears, he made that happen too. His loyalty ran deep, and his love ran even deeper.

As a brother, he was a steady presence of love and protection. As an uncle, he was playful, proud, and adored. As a friend, he was family. He gave freely of himself-his time, his energy, his heart-and asked for little in return.

He leaves behind a legacy of laughter, kindness, and unconditional love. Though our hearts ache in his absence, we are grateful for every joke, every hug, every late-night talk, and every moment we were lucky enough to share with him.

He is survived by father, Kenneth Barham Sr.; mother, Judy Barham; sister, Kelly Nottingham; brother, Josh Barham and wife, Diana; niece, Rece Nottingham; nephews, Mason Nottingham, Titus Barham, and Hudson Barham.

To celebrate his life, KennyPalooza will be held on his birthday, Saturday, May 2, 2026. More details to come on Facebook.

Forever our favorite child. Forever our brother. Forever loved
