My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of Kenny Yates. I always enjoyed Kenny, especially when he was team roping. He was the best of the best.

Bernadine and Family,
I will miss him dearly. Even though I didn't talk to him much he never changed. Everyone who ever met him loved him. He had a way with people that I admired. He was a tough cowboy with a soft heart. RIP Uncle Kenny. My prayers to your family.

Bernadine and Family:
I was so sorry to hear about Kenny. He was a true cowboy, and a very dear friend to my Dad, Cliff Bos. If there's a rodeo in the after-life, I'd like to think that is where they're at this very moment - sitting on the fence swapping stories and laughing till their eyes glistened with tears!
My condolences. My sympathy & my prayers are with you.
