Kenneth went home to the Lord on Jan. 23, 2023, at home surrounded by family. He was born on Oct. 21, 1934, in Centerville, Texas, to Charlie Crawford Bain and Robbie B. Johnson Bain.

Kenneth grew up in the Centerville area in a home full of siblings and love. Kenneth graduated from Centerville High School. He joined the Army in 1957. Shortly before finishing his time in the army, his sister, who was a patient at the local hospital, introduced him to the sweetest nurse ever, Patricia Lee Fazel. The couple married on Aug. 12, 1961. Together, they built a beautiful life together. The only major problem was Pat wanted four children and Kenneth wanted three. That problem was solved by God when Pat had twins the third time. Their family was complete! Kenneth loved his family and adored his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Kenneth was a member of the Corinth Missionary Church in Grand Saline and was active in the Masonic Lodge #1182 for many years. He had been an ordinated deacon for several years at Jackson Missionary Baptist Church in Canton. He enjoyed farming, raising cattle and music. Kenneth enjoyed his music – listening and playing. In his younger years, he played for the church and around the Ft. Worth area. Kenneth’s best day was a day with family and friends. He will live on in the hearts and memories of all that knew and loved him.
