Kenneth Barron Wiggins

Kenneth Barron Wiggins, known to close family and friends as "Kenny", was born November 14, 1953 in Mobile, Alabama. He was kind hearted once you got passed his rough exterior. At an early age, he developed a deep love of music which eventually lead him to obtain a Fine Arts degree in Music from Murray State College in Ardmore, Oklahoma. He went on to become part of a band, Third Column" with a group of friends (Tommy Thompson, Eddie Moore, Sherry Pyrtle, Ronnie Robinson, Dwight Pickens, David Brown and Tony Roberts), where he at times sang lead as well as played the piano. Early in his music career his fashion and style was that of Marvin Gaye. As time went on, he widened his scope and began to enjoy various other artists such as Con Funk Shun, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Whispers and a special love of Frankie Beverly and Maze. Kenneth also had a passion for playing golf. He often spoke of getting back to playing as soon as he could get better.
