Tyler Brock Kenney, 38, of Paragould, AR, passed from this life October 24, 2026. He was welcomed into the world in Kirksville, MO, October 29, 1987, by his overjoyed parents, Annette and David Kenney.

Tyler was the apple of everyone's eye, as he was a rare boy in a family of girls, and he knew it. He was funny and clever at a young age, rambunctious, and adventurous. He was adored and known in his family as "Tyler Pie", and by his loving younger sister as "Toller." He graduated from Kirksville High School in 2006, and went on to study aviation before succeeding in a rewarding career with Carmedic, where he highly valued his relationships with colleagues. These close friends would go on to celebrate milestones with Tyler and his family, and he treasured them greatly.

He met Caitlin LaFarlette of Paragould in 2014, and they were married in 2019. With tremendous love and excitement, they welcomed their two daughters to the world, Eva in 2020 and Aubrey in 2023. To know Tyler was to understand that his deepest happiness and sense of pride came from his role as husband and father. Eva was a daddy's girl who had him wrapped around her finger. Aubrey was his partner in crime. Tyler was a patient and extremely dedicated father. While most of his time was focused on his family, Tyler enjoyed aviation, martial arts, video games, and had an enthusiasm for learning new things. He loved a great adventure and was extremely optimistic, no matter the situation. The loss of this wonderful son, brother, husband, friend, and father will impact his loved ones forever.

He is survived by his wife and daughters, his mother Annette Kenney and her partner David Giovannini, his sister Nicole Antoine and her husband Garrett, and his nieces, Amelia and Charlotte. He is also survived by his sister Jennifer Dunkin and her husband John; his nieces Alexandra and Corrie; aunt and uncle Lynn and Gale Stock of Kirksville, cousin Abigail Medenciy (maiden name Stock) and her husband Jason and their daughter Susanna, cousin Carrie Stock.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Richard and Jean Kenney of Kirksville, and Gerald and Jo Hodges of Kahoka, and by his father, David.

The Carmedic Team, Blake Smith, Zain Sadi, Levi Riddle, Landon Pence, Ryan Lawson, Troy Western, Payden McCarty, Eric Barnes, Eli Newsom, Mike Bruetsch, Chris Earnhart, and Hayden Farley will serve as honorary pallbearers.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, November 1st, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Phillips Funeral Home. The memorial service will follow at 4:00 p.m. with Bro. Derrick Followell officiating.
