Kenneth Marshal Kinard, 62, of Fort Smith, peacefully passed away at his home on February 10, 2025. He was born on June 8, 1962, to Elmar Kinard Sr. and Dorothy (Woods) Kinard. Kenneth was a cherished son, brother, and father, known for his deep love of family and his work ethic.
 
A skilled mechanic, Kenneth spent most of his career working with cars, and in his free time, he was always tinkering with them. His passion for automobiles was matched only by his devotion to those closest to him.
 
Kenneth is survived by his daughter, Jasmine; two brothers, Elmer Kinard and Allen Kinard and his wife; two sisters, Linda Cope and Elizabeth Harris; and his niece, Cassandra Parrett; and four nephews, Jesse and Joseph Gann, and Robert and Shane Baker.
 
Instead of a formal service, Kenneth’s family has chosen to honor his memory privately at this time. Cremation arrangements are being handled by Lewis Funeral Chapel.
