Kenton Lynn Woods
1959 - 1994
Kenton Lynn Woods, son of Emil and Roberta Woods of Eagle died Wednesday, July 27th at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction. He was 35 years old.
Kenton was born June 21, 1959 in Grand Junction. He attended elementary and junior high school in Trinidad, Colo. and graduated from Eagle Valley High School in 1977. Friends remember him as an affable fellow who focused intensity on his particular interests. He loved fly-tying and fishing, and enjoyed delving into scientific aspects of insects in his college studies. Kenton attended Mesa State College in Grand Junction, where he was very much involved in the music department.
Singing was one of Kenton's greatest pleasures, and he had a fine baritone voice. He often sang while performing chores such as mowing lawns. Family members recall that he had a habit of singing opera in the shower --the arias ended only when the hot water tank was emptied.
Kenton died following complications related to a kidney transplant. He will be sadly missed and long remembered by all who knew and loved him.
Survivors include his parents; two sisters, Colleen Woods of Grand Junction and Elaine Hill of Lincoln, Neb.; a brother and sister-in-law, Edward and Linda Woods of Merriam, Kan; a nephew, Chris Woods of Kansas, and numerous aunts and uncles.
Funeral services were held Saturday at the Eagle Community Methodiswt Church. Rev. Phil Green officiated. A contingent of local State Patrolmen acted as pallbearers. Memorial contributions may be made to the Dialysis Department, c/o St. Mary's Hospital, 2635 North 7th Street, Grand Junction, Colo. 81501.
