Kenneth Pinckney

On Wednesday afternoon September 1, 2021, Kenneth Pinckney fell asleep in death at St. Joseph Hospital in Savannah, Georgia after a long battle with his illness.

Son of the late George B. Pinckney & Dorothy Butler Pinckney.  He was born on October 10, 1955, in Ridgeland, South Carolina. He was preceded in death also by three (3) Siblings: Willie George Pinckney Jr., Cliff Pinckney, and Reginald Pinckney.

Kenneth was educated in the public schools of Jasper County, in Ridgeland, SC.  He always enjoyed working with his hands and loved nature and plants. He was an avid, skillful Landscaper like his father.  He had many jobs performing those skills and excelled at his duties.  Prior to his death and due to his illness, he retired from the Hilton Head Recreation Center where he oversaw maintenance and upkeep of the facility.

Later in his life, he professed Christianity and became a member of St Luke Baptist Church in Okatie, South Carolina.

He was outgoing and all who knew him could identify him by his (Big) smile!

Kenneth leaves to cherish his memories, his wife Tasha Pinckney, of Uganda, Africa.
