Garnet Lee Kenaston

featured image

From Lincoln, Nebraska

Born February 10, 1947 in Lincoln to James & Rozella Kenaston.

Passed away on November 20, 2020, age 73.

He graduated Northeast High School 1966, was drafted into the Army and served in Viet Nam.

Lived for 30 years in California, most of that time with Sharon, his one true love.

They owned a cafe in Huntington Beach for two years.

He loved all animals, with most of his heart given to Major, Bogey and Ruby, his little Jack Russell.

Garnet was an amateur painter and author who wrote a memoir of his Viet Nam experiences and two unpublished novels.

He was an incurable romantic who loved cars, rock ‘n’ roll and movies.

He made friends easily. His sense of humor and shy smile could light up a room.

His corny jokes would always get the most laughs from his sister.

Predeceased by brothers Jerry, Clyde, Tim and his parents.

Survived by sister Candy Downing, many nieces, nephews and friends.

He can now join the animals he loved, his brothers and friends.

He will finally get to meet Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.

No service.

    Garnet was a very dear friend of my father Hanno Berger. They went to school together and his lifelong friendship meant the world to my dad. I am so sorry for your loss.

    I’m very sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. My sympathies to his family and friends. We’d been out of touch for many years but in the late 60’s early 70’s. He was a good friend to us. He was very kind to our 2 year old daughter. She couldn’t say Lee so she called him “Feef”. She was always happy to see him – we all were.
