Kenneth was born December 10, 1948 in Stevenson, Alabama to Alvin H. and Ella Mae Evans Wilkerson, although he would argue that he was Texan through and through. He was a longtime Parmer County farmer, doing what he did best. Farming was second in his heart, first being his children and family. Kenneth was an overcomer that loved to help others. His caring heart and big Texas laugh will be missed.

Preceding him in death include his parents, Alvin and Ela Wilkerson, 1 daughter-Sherri Collins, 1 son-Lonnie Wilkerson, 2 brothers-David and Rayford Wilkerson, and 2 sisters-Dorothy Benson, and Dora Geneva Bentley.

Those to mourn his passing include 3 daughters-Ella Craddock of Amarillo, Michelle Wilkerson of Lubbock, and Liberty Williams and husband Fredrick of Amarillo, and 1 sister- Alene Gamble of Friona, 14 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild.
