He is survived by his brother, Bill Holt of Houston, and sister, Merrilee Garland of Rogers, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Per Kenneth's wishes, he was laid rest next to Ruby in a private ceremony at the Maplewood Cemetery in Harrison, Ark.
A celebration of his life will be held at Homer's Tavern (the Holt home) on July 6, 2019. Per his exacting standards, Chicken S**t Bingo will be held at the day's event. Food and Drink will be provided.
