“Little Kenny” Kenneth Gumke, III, age 40, of Knoxville, Tennessee, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, March 14, 2024. He was born in Knoxville, on July 26, 1983. Kenny was known for being an avid fisherman. He had a passion for tree climbing, hanging out by a bonfire, and riding back roads listening to music. Kenny greatly loved his family and friends, especially aggravating the little ones. Underneath his hard exterior he had a huge heart of gold and would do anything for those he loved. Loyalty best described him when it came to his friendships. Kenny was an amazing person who will be greatly missed. He was exceptional and one of a kind!
