Kenneth Charles Tidwell, “Kenny”, passed away on Monday, March 18, 2024 at the age of 64 after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was a graduate of Greensburg High School and a long-time resident of Livingston, Louisiana. Kenny’s vibrant personality was well known among his community. He rarely met a stranger. He had a tremendous love for the outdoors and enjoyed sharing his hunting and fishing stories with anyone who wanted to listen. He found solitude at his cabin in Amite, a place that refreshed him. Kenny’s greatest joy in life came from spending time together with his family, especially his five beautiful grandchildren.
Kenny is survived by his wife of 40 years, Vanda Rogers Tidwell; children, Bradley Ficklin (Annie) and Jena Jones (Chase); special aunt, Bernice Cade; grandchildren, Isabella Collins, Eli Ficklin, Kevyn Ficklin, Hadley Jones, and Berkley Jones. He is preceded in death by his mother, Mary Jean Pilgrim; father, Charles Cleborn Tidwell; sister, Donna Tidwell Manalli; brother, Roger “Cooney” Tidwell.
