Kenneth Ray (Kenny) Reynolds, 76, of 1274 Lynch Road, Altavista, Virginia, passed away October 28, 2022, at his home. He was born December 2, 1945 in Altavista, the son of Robert James (R.J.) Reynolds, Jr. and Nadine Power Reynolds of Altavista. Kenny is survived by his wife of 55 years, Kathy Reedy Reynolds. Kenny held Kathy's hand for the first time when she was 12 years old and he just never let go until today but their hearts will be joined forever. Kenny is also survived by a son, James Brandon Reynolds and his wife Jennifer, a grandson and his best buddy who nicknamed him Cook, Noah James Reynolds, a grand-daughter, Adalynn Grace Reynolds, his Georgia peach, all of Cornelia, Georgia, and one sister Janice Reynolds Webber of Altavista. Kenny was a 1966 graduate of Altavista High School and a three sport athlete and kept the boy's basketball team stats coached by Don Thompson. He remained a dedicated, active and very vocal AHS fan. He worked at The Lane Company for 37 years in Quality Control until plant closure and BWXT for 7 years until retirement. He was a lifelong member of Mount Hermon United Methodist Church in Lynch Station, Virginia and a member of the Lynch Station Ruritan Club. He served with the Virginia Army National Guard from 1966-1973 and pulled his active duty at Fort Bliss, Texas where he received the Outstanding Soldier Award for his Company. He loved playing golf and cards with his friends and especially enjoyed cooking for them on Friday nights. He was an avid sportsman and loved hunting deer and quail with his Uncle Bud and walking behind his bird dog, Belle, and enjoyed his time spent at Douthat State Park with his family and trout fishing with his son, Brandon. He spent countless hours training and showing horses and Hackney ponies. It was a life well spent. Kenny was blessed to have his extended family, close friends, and devoted neighbors with him and his family during his struggle with heart, kidney and liver disease and yes Kylie Paige (his 8 year old next door neighbor) he made sure you would have a supply of skittles.
