KENNETH WAYNE MCAFEE JR.

June 10, 1973 – October 9, 2026

Kenneth Wayne McAfee Jr. passed away peacefully at home on October 9, 2026, with his dad by his side and his mom and brother close, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, adventure, and unconditional love. Born on June 10, 1973, at 9:14 AM, Kenny was an 8 lb. 5 oz. baby who brought pure joy to his family right from the start.

Raised in Tulare, California, Kenny worked in the dairy service industry for many years before starting his own dairy service business, installing foot baths for dairies throughout Tulare County, CA, and other states. Later, he joined his father and brother Brian in building ornamental iron fences. Kenny was a jack of most trades and very good at what he did. He will be missed very much.

Kenny grew up knowing—or being related to—just about everyone in town. To Kenny, there were no strangers, only friends he hadn’t shared a laugh with yet. Walking into a local restaurant with Kenny was an event in itself, as he made sure to walk the room and shake hands with everyone in the place.

Kenny lived life with infectious enthusiasm and a larger-than-life energy. A die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, one of his ultimate highlights was taking his beloved mother to AT&T Stadium to watch the Cowboys take on the Eagles—and of course, the Eagles won. He had a deep passion for golf, loved telling stories, and was always reminiscing about old times.

Among his favorite adventures were the peaceful getaways to Shaver Lake with his best friend and beloved companion, Whitney—their special haven to relax, recharge, and spend quality time together. Kenny often shared that his time with Whitney was the happiest time of his life. Kenny cherished every opportunity to work and spend time alongside his dad, and he loved tuning in to watch the Big Bear bald eagles with his brother, Brian. Above all, nothing brought him greater pride or happiness than his family, especially his parents who were his rock. He loved his children, and they were the greatest joys in his life. He also shared a truly special bond with his one and only favorite niece, Haylee, whom he loved dearly and who loved him just as much.

Kenny is survived by his mother, Barbara McAfee; his father, Ken McAfee; his brother, Brian McAfee; his best friend and beloved companion, Whitney Moffett; his daughter, Macie; his four sons, Javan, Caleb, Jakeb, and Kaiden; his beloved niece, Haylee; and his four cherished grandchildren, Brayden, Hunter, Ryder, and Emmie.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Jason; his grandparents, Woodrow and Pauline McAfee, and Lester and Wanda Pollard; as well as beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Services and a celebration of Kenny’s life will be held on Saturday, October 24th, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the International Agri-Center, 4500 S. Laspina St., Tulare, CA 93274.
