of Little Rock, AR
December 4, 1958 - January 19, 2026
On January 19, 2026, after an evening with his family, Kenny Dylan Breeding entered into glory in the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ. His larger-than-life personality was often matched only by his side-splitting stories. To know Kenny was to experience his love, generosity, and care. He will be greatly missed.
Kenny was born on December 4, 1958 to Faye and Barbara Breeding. The second of four sons, Kenny's childhood was spent in southwest Little Rock. His most precious childhood memories often involved his grandfather and professed hero, Fay New, with whom Kenny got into plenty of trouble. Not the biggest fan of school, Kenny much preferred to get a job and make his own way in the world.
If you asked Kenny, the best thing that came out of his school years was meeting the love of his life, Norma Cranford. After meeting in the 7th grade, Kenny and Norma began dating in the 9th grade. They were married in 1978, and their first two children, Jeff and Stacy, soon followed.
Kenny's professional career began in a machine shop, where he quickly found his calling. After years working for a local manufacturer, Kenny started his own company in the late 1980s. Starting a business is always a challenge, but Kenny's situation was unique. Norma had recently given birth to their twin boys, Todd and Matt, and Kenny was still recovering from a broken ankle while skateboarding - yes, skateboarding. Only Kenny would have thought it was the right time to start his own business.
But as with so many other situations, Kenny knew what he was doing. His company, ISKCO, experienced the Lord's blessing and grew successfully. Along with providing for Kenny's family, ISKCO also provided stable jobs for countless employees, many of whom Kenny and Norma viewed like family.
Still, even with a successful company, Kenny's proudest achievement was his family, whom he loved dearly. He and Norma built a warm home, filled with many memories - from Saturdays at the ball field to annual dance recitals to motorcycle rides to numerous family vacations. As his kids can attest, the life Kenny and Norma provided was beyond blessed.
Kenny loved to give gifts, fix problems, and help others. The list is long of those who benefited from Kenny's kind heart. His stories were also legendary - some true, some exaggerated, all hilarious. A committed Christian and member of Parkway Place Church, Kenny loved to sing the Lord's praise in church. He was always quick to say that the Lord had richly blessed his life.
Kenny is survived by his beloved wife, Norma; his children, Jeff (Laura), Stacy (Clay), Todd (Kathryn), and Matt; his eight grandchildren, Sam, Cooper, Owen, Kynley, Jonah, Emersyn, Hayden, and Levi; his parents, Faye and Barbara Breeding; his three brothers, Steve (Tara), Barry (Tonya), and Kevin (Susie); as well as numerous extended family.
Visitation will be Thursday, January 22 at 1:00pm at Parkway Place Church. The funeral will follow immediately at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, gifts in Kenny's memory can be made to the Arkansas chapter of the ALS Association.

So nice to read about the Kenny I did not know. I knew Kenny the business man and worked with him for over 30 years on many Iskco projects. You always knew who was in charge! What a great customer and what a great guy. Rest in peace big Ken.

So very sorry for your family's loss. Kenny was such an amazing man and an inspiration to our family. The years spent at Grace MBC were filled with so many precious memories. Loved hearing Kenny sing and sharing his love for God through song.
We were reminiscing last night about the games we all played during Sunday School fellowships, so many wonderful times.
Praying for all of you during this time of loss yet rejoicing for Kenny as he is truly at peace and in his heavenly home forever.

Kenny made a big impression on me as a teenager. Watching his zest of life, commitment to the church, and optimism stood out to me as a goal to reach for. Growing up, I've learned that a Christian's joy drives these things. Knowing Kenny and how he loved life makes me think his joy cup overflowed a lot. He had a beautiful voice that he praised Jesus with at church. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family as they navigate life without him. He's undoubtedly rejoicing with his Savior. Much love to you all.

I smiled, reading the obituary. Kenny was like that, always making us smile! Imagine the reunion between him and Fay New! That one would only be topped by his meeting Jesus face to face! I know he is singing praises. He was a special person, that's for sure! I love y'all!

God bless you all in this time of loss. Though it hurts to say goodbye, you can rest in the knowledge that your dad is no longer suffering in his earthly form but is rejoicing in the presence of his Lord and Savior. May the Lord grant you strength to get through the days ahead and renew the great memories that you have of your dad.

One of the finest men I have ever known. He was kind, generous and so, so funny! His humor was like no other! He made people laugh so hard they would cry....a good cry of course!
Kenny LOVED his family, but his love for the LORD is what made him so special. His love for Norma was a kind of love like I have never seen. A kind of love that most people never witness. A selfless kind of love, AGAPE love. I'm so thankful that I was able to witness that kind of love between Kenny and Norma.
This World was a better place with Kenny here, but he was ready to go to Heaven. Heaven will never be the same with Kenny there! I will miss him so much!
