Odell Kenneth “Kenny” Dawson passed away on Friday, November 6, 2026, at the age of 61. He was born on November 2, 1965, in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

Kenny was self-employed as a roofer, a line of work that reflected his strong work ethic and practical skill. He was an outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing, and he found much of his happiness in the simple pleasures of time spent outside.

He is survived by his father, David A. Dawson, Sr. (Donna); his siblings, Tina Gartman, G. Travis Dawson (Dena Brunson), Savannah Dawson, Dakotah Dawson and Tonya Dawson and a number of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Margaret Bonnette Myers, and by his brother, David Dawson, Jr.

Kenny will be remembered with affection by those who knew him and by the family who shared in his life. May his memory bring comfort to all who mourn his passing.
