In memory of Coach Kenny Blair, so dear, His impact strong, his spirit clear. Santa Blair, now among the stars, Leaving behind cherished memoirs. On the field, his passion shone bright, Guiding players with love and might. A mentor, a friend to many souls, Whose memory forever strolls. Though he's gone, his legacy remains, In hearts, in victories, in pains. Coach Kenny Blair, forever in our cheer, His presence missed, but always near. You are loved and will be missed dearly. Your friend and Northeast Academy partner in youth ministry. - Dr. Darron Lamkin

What a tremendous person who touched everyone's life. Kenny introduced my brothers and I to big time college football. We used to drive to Columbus Missouri to watch him play football. He introduced us to many of his teammates at the University of Missouri. He and many of his classmates played in the NFL, NBA and MLB. One time when the Tigers played the Sooners at Owen field in Norman. Kenny waved us out of the stadium to come down to the Tiger sideline to watch the game. In 1979 when I lived in Saint Louis MO. Kenny and I used to hang out. He was a BIG TIME athlete. Later in life he transformed himself into another genre. Santa Blair who known throughout the United States. I saw him on TV when he appeared on the View. The last time I saw him in person was when he received the Juneteenth Impact Award at Washington Park in OKC. What an amazing person and life long friend. Kenny's legacy will last forever. RIP!
