He is also survived by three brothers, Wilmer Shifflett, Donnie Shifflett, and his wife, Barbara, Leroy Shifflett, and his wife, Freda, and a sister, Janie Hicks, and husband, Gary.

Kenny was an avid fisherman and hunter. He enjoyed spending time at the cabin in Buckingham and cooking for others. He was always smiling, laughing, and you never ran into him without him cracking jokes. He spent many years throwing horseshoes. Many know him as “Fat Man” We will always cherish our times spent with him and the memories that were made. He was a loving and caring Dad who kept us on our toes. Not a day will go by that you will not be missed!

Special thanks to his son, Neil Shifflett, who lived in the home with him and took care of him daily. Also, a special thank you to his brother and best friend, Leroy, who made it a point to check on him and visit with him every Thursday.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, at Batten Funeral Home beginning at 10:00 a.m. A funeral service will follow starting at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Josh Shifflett officiating. Interment will follow at Prize Hill Cemetery.

The family would like to invite family and friends to the Dyke Fire House for a meal following the funeral service. 

Arrangements are entrusted to Batten Funeral Home of Ruckersville, Virginia.
