Mr. Kenny Lamont Zollicoffer

Kenny La Mont Zollicoffer, Sr. was born July 20, 1968, to parents Lloyd, Jr. and Joyce Zollicoffer in Milwaukee, WI. He accepted Christ as his Lord and savior at an early age. A lifelong resident of Milwaukee, Kenny started his education at Holy Ghost Lutheran School before transitioning to Milwaukee Public Schools where he graduated from Vincent High School. He furthered his education at Milwaukee Area Technical College where he earned a certificate in Small Engine Repair. In 1988 Kenny started his tenure at MATC, beginning in the operations department, finally retiring from the Shipping and Receiving department in 2015. During his 27 years of service, Kenny made countless lifelong friendships. It was during his time at MATC that he met the love of his life. In 1995 while working in the Operations Department, Kenny met Michele Coleman and they were joined in holy matrimony on October 25, 2003. Michele joined a blended family, uniting with Kenny and his three children (Kenesha, Kristen, and Brenden), and later adding Kenny, Jr. (KJ). Kenny and Michele were inseparable, and this became official in 2011 when Michele donated Kenny a kidney. Although Kenny had health challenges, it did not stop him from living his life to the fullest. From a young age Kenny’s lifelong passion for cars grew into something of legend. Having inherited his grandfather’s and father’s love of Cadillacs, Kenny proudly owned SEVERAL Cadillacs throughout his life. When not enjoying cars, Kenny could be found on his boat fishing, doing home improvements, vacationing, and holding cookouts with his family. Perhaps one of the most cherished parts of Kenny’s life was the time he spent with family.
