Kenyon was born on December 27, 1971 in Burnet, Texas to Joyce and Loy Don Black. He retired from Brownwood Police Department in 2013. He was involved with Early High School Key Club, later becoming the Texas/Oklahoma Key Club District Administrator.

Kenyon was preceded in death by his mother, Joyce, and his favorite dog, Tasia.

He is survived by his wife of 12 years, Kate Black; son Ty Black and partner Arleen Rivas; father, Loy Don Black; and aunt, Barbara Black.

Kenyon was an avid animal advocate. Therefore, in lieu of flowers, his family would rather have donations sent to Corrine T. Smith Animal Center in Brownwood. Condolences, memories, and tributes can be shared with the family online at heartlandfuneralhome.com
