Kenny Lynn Shuler was born to Henry A. and Frances Shuler on September 16, 1951. He went home to be with the Lord on May 6, 2026, at the age of 74.
Kenny grew up in Aldrich, Mo and graduated from Fair Play Highschool in 1969. Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, he joined Carpenters Local Union 978 in July of 1970. Kenny retired from Carson Mitchell Engineering in 2014 after 41 years as a proud union carpenter. Along the way, he built many lifelong friendships and took great pride in mentoring younger men entering the trade.
Shortly after graduating Kenny fell in love with and married Linda Ann Hopkins. Together, they shared 51 years of marriage and raised 2 wonderful daughters, Leah JoAnne and Lauren Jill.
Kenny joined the Masonic Lodge in 1987 and was a proud member of the Lake Stockton Shrine Club for nearly 40 years.
Kenny was well known for his wonderful sense of humor and his ability to remember every joke he had ever heard. He was a self-proclaimed handy-man, an expert turkey hunter, and a mediocre mechanic. Throughout the years, Kenny owned several dune buggies and ATV’s. He enjoyed countless trips to the sand dunes and the mountains with family and friends.
Kenny will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered for never taking life too seriously and for making everyone he met feel like the most important person in the world.
