Kenneth Jay Horne

Kenneth Jay Horne “Kenny” KAYSVILLE - The heavens rejoiced Saturday morning, May 23, 2009, to welcome back Kenneth Jay Horne “Kenny”: Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. We will dearly miss his unconditional love, kindness, wisdom, dignity, loyalty and service to all who knew him. We will miss his example, but his influence will always be with us. He put others before himself—constantly helping and praying for those who were special in his life. He made everyone feel like the most important person, best friend, or favorite child or grandchild. He was a graduate of Davis High School and Weber State University. An engineer by trade, he could fix anything, whether with his professional design and manufacturing work, rebuilding the family boats, the numerous cars he fixed for almost anyone who knew him or countless other projects. Kenny could never turn away a friend in need—and everyone was his friend. Kenny was faithful in his church service, serving an LDS mission in the Northern States and working in numerous church callings, including service as a hosting missionary with his wife at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building for the last ten years. He loved sharing his testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Kenny was a native of Kaysville, born January 27, 1948 to Owen and Mildred Horne, who preceded him in death along with two brothers, Richard and Harold. A loving husband and father, family was everything to him. He is survived by his wife Charlene and children Eleas and Mark Phillips, Cindy and Chad Hess, Michael and Jennifer Horne, Melissa and Cody Hall, Roshelle and Jon Pulsipher, Tyson and Sarah Horne, and Heather and Paul Buttars, and thirteen grandchildren; his sister, Carolyn Myhre, and brothers, Thad, Marvin, and David Horne. The family expresses appreciation for all who have helped in Kenny’s battle with cancer for the last two-and-a-half years. One of Kenny’s favorite sayings was, “prayer changes things,” and we are grateful for all prayers offered on his behalf. Funeral services will be held Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 2 p.m. at Burton Lane LDS Stake Center, 270 W. Burton Lane, Kaysville. Friends and family may call from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, 2009, at Lindquist’s Kaysville Mortuary, 400 N. Main Street and from 12 to 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the church. Interment, Kaysville City Cemetery.
