He was born October 19, 1946 at the Burns Hospital in Cuero to Harry and Adaoise Meadows Holster. Kenny worked as a delivery driver for Kasper Wire Works until his retirement. On November 22, 2022, Kenny re-united with his ex-wife, Tia Cook and they rekindled their relationship from fifty-one years ago. He enjoyed visiting many different bridges and train engine events, especially “Big Boy Union Pacific 4014” and “The Road Trip”. In 2024 he went on a road trip with his brother, Greg; sister, June; companion, Tia and Cousins, Jackie Alsup from Kerrville and Jan from Montana. Some of his favorite memories were trips to the Cheyenne Rodeo in Wyoming with his family, visiting Pawpaw’s old family farm in Clyde, TX and the 2024 friends and family road trip.
Kenny enjoyed trips to various train events, doing puzzles, collecting coins, rocks with holes, Indian and Buffalo memorabilia as well as lighthouses and locomotives. He has a 13 ½ lb. cat names Pasquale and boy did he love that cat. She would walk up to him, turn around with her rear-end facing him expecting a good, long scratch by her tail!
He is survived by his loving companion, Tia Cook; sisters, June Benton (Charles), Carol Ann Richards (Carver) and Gayle Wagner; brother, Greg Holster; good friends, Bobby Nami and Kenneth Parker; friends, Billy & Kathryn Nami, Bobby & Dorothy Heyer and John & Terri Eichols and previous neighbors, Bill & Helen Serece.
