On October 22, 2019, we lost our beloved, James (Jim) Buchanan Kenney Jr., due to complications from Prostate Cancer. He was born April 26, 1947, to Alice and James, in Indianapolis, IN.

Proceeded in his death by his parents, James and Alice, and stepfather Arthur, Sister Kay, and grandson Cameron.

Jim is survived by his daughters and their spouses, Karey Kenney Conrad and husband Phillip Conrad IV of Kirkland, WA, Jennifer Edwards and husband Darin Edwards of Bradenton, FL, and Katelin Robinson and husband Michael Robinson of Rogers, AR. He also leaves behind his siblings Sidney, Ryan, Cherrie, Sunday and Bernadine, grandchildren Justin Cox, Kimber Jimenez and Phillip Conrad V and great grandchildren Aubrien, Eliana, and Mariano.

Jim worked in various trades over the years but ultimately followed his passion with vehicles through custom upholstery and participating in car shows with his beloved yellow and orange Camaro. Known as “Diamond Jim” to some for his upholstery work and his signature colors orange and yellow. He also served in the United States Navy in Vietnam as a Naval Aviator flying DC3 planes and received the National Defense Service Medal and the Vietnam Service Medal. He loved to tinker around on his Camaro, help his daughter with her vehicle projects, and spend time with his grandson.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 12pm to 5pm on November 16, 2019, at All City Convertibles & Customs in Kirkland. Flowers and cards can be sent to Jim’s daughter, Karey, to All City Convertibles & Customs for the celebration.
