Kenneth Darryl Sconiers Jr. "Kenny" "Valiant Warrior" Kenneth Darryl Sconiers Jr. passed away while at home on 30 March 2003 after a valiant 22-year fight with diabetes and epilepsy. He will be greatly missed by all who had the good fortune to know him in this life. Kenny was the son of Thomasania and Wayne Leydsman and Kenneth Sconiers Sr. He was born on 18 July 1978 in Westerly, Rhode Island. From the time of his birth he was a joy to his family and all that knew him. In 1983 Kenny and his family moved to Utah where he graduated from Hillcrest High School in 1996. During his time at Hillcrest he was captain of the debate team and a winner of many awards. He was a member of the concert choir and was a participant in musicals. Upon graduation from high school, he became a tutor for at-risk students at the Hillside Elementary School. He was attending Salt Lake Community College at the time of his death. Kenny was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as a missionary in the Michigan Detroit Mission from 1998 to 2000. Kenny loved sports, debate (as he had a sharp wit), listening to music and especially spending time with his "brothers". Among his many gifts, he counseled kids with diabetes at a variety of different camps. He was a valiant warrior who had exceptional patience and strength through every trial he passed through. We feel so blessed to have known him |
