Kenny Lou Borst, born on July 23, 1965, in Grand Rapids, MI, and a resident of Zeeland Charter Township, Michigan, passed away on May 8, 2024. Kenny led a simple life, defined not by sight but by the relationships he had with those around him. He had a deep and enduring love for his longtime girlfriend, Martha (Marti) Hammons, who preceded him in death. Kenny's life, though shorter than we would have wished, was filled with moments that made us smile, and those are the memories that we will cherish forever.
Kenny is survived by his loving son, Joseph Borst; his father, Joseph (Larry) Borst Jr.; his sisters, Penny (Scott) Wood and Betsy Babbitt; his granddaughter, Nevaeh; and nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his cherished girlfriend, Martha "Marti" Hammons and his beloved mother, Linda Borst. Kenny's caring heart and spirit have left a mark on those who knew him.
We invite all who knew and loved Kenny to share their memories and photographs on his memorial page. Your contributions will help keep Kenny's spirit alive and serve as a comforting reminder of the love and laughter he shared with us all.
Burial of his cremated remains will take place on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) at Chapel Hill Memorial Cemetery, 2894 Patterson Ave. SE, Grand Rapids, MI.
Isaiah 42:18-19
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth, These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
