Kinley served in the Army for 3 years but his favorite thing to do was to drive long distance trucks.

He leaves to cherish his memories 10 of his children, 3 of the 11 siblings, an abundance of grand and great-grand children, Karen Marshall his wife and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
