Mr. Kendrick was a long time member of Liberty Baptist Church and devoted many years of service there. He loved music and was talented at playing guitar, banjo and harmonica.  He enjoyed picking and grinning with his buddies at various venues in Shelby and Talladega counties over the years. Mr. Kendrick loved getting together with his family and his eyes would light up in joy during those times.  He loved to laugh and his laugh was infectious. He loved Alabama football and Braves baseball and enjoyed watching the games with his family.  Mr. Kendrick was a great example of a truly good man and will be greatly missed.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The Colorectal Cancer Alliance or the Alzheimer’s Association.
