My words could not ever express the sorrow that I feel for the entire Blevins family, especially my friend Betty. May God bless you all with peace and comfort. We will continue praying for your hearts to heal and for you all to keep your memories of your brother Kenny close. Love you all.
Kenny ( Kynyrd ) and I were founders in the band Pistol Dawn in about 1988 and went on to resume a successful musical career with Red Ball Jets. We were fellow guitar gunslingers and he was as solid as they come when it came to laying down a hard driving southern rock riff. I will miss him but will always have the memories of our stage success that I would not have accomplished without Kenny’s brotherhood and friendship.
I met Ken when his family moved into my neighborhood, we were in 5th grade. We became fast friends & grew up together from there. Lots & lots of memories. Stand up guy, you’ll be missed.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Kenny. Kenny was a good guy. Played along side him during our band days.
Kenny was always full of wit and kept us laughing during our late night gigs.
My condolences to the family, friends who love him.
Kenny was a “one of a kind” he was a great rhythm guitarist, had the pleasure of playing music with Kenny for several years, he had a ton of one-liners that would make us laugh! I will always cherish the memories of making music and his friendship, thoughts and prayers to his family.
I’ll miss Kenny we always talk on phone. We go out to his sister fishing and Canoe trips
This makes me sad Kenny was a great guy who always made me smile he also loved Ted Nugent
Kenny was the same age as my son and always such a sweet boy! I am so sorry for your loss and will surely be praying forGod’s comfort that only He can give. May He bless you all.
Our sympathies go out to you all at this time. May God bless you all at this time.

Ken (Holio) was a great guy with an awesome sense of humor. He was always proud of his artifact collection and would joke about being in the “junior archeological society”. I also got to witness him in the bands when I was a sound guy. He will be missed.
Kenny and my dad were great fiends , after dad died Kenny and I became friends, talking arrowheads and politics a lot and solving all the worlds problems and having laughs as we did it , we talked regularly on the phone and he loved his family so much ! Even their pets !! I could go on and on but the bottom line is he was a good guy and a good friend and I’ll miss him
