About Kenny

Kenny began working at Burleson Plumbing & Heating straight out of high school, earning both his plumbing and HVAC licenses along the way. Over the years, he led the company through major milestones, including the 2008 housing crisis and the challenges of COVID-19, while always keeping faith and family first.

In retirement, Kenny looks forward to spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren — Holland, Luca, Landon, Evan, and Raymond — and continuing his work in the church and community.

We invite you to join us in celebrating Kenny’s career at this retirement announcement party and thanking him for 51 years of dedication to Burleson Plumbing & Heating and the people of Spruce Pine and surrounding counties.
