Kenneth Shannon “Kenny” Fincher, 51, of Festus died June 17, 2021, in Cabot, Ark. Mr. Fincher was a Christian and was well known for his many years in real estate. He was a vital part of the Fincher Family Team at ReMax and Coldwell Banker Gundaker in Festus. He was a caring and compassionate soul who had a contagious laugh and loved to make everyone smile. He enjoyed vacationing in Jamaica with Karla, cheering on his granddaughters and spending time outdoors and on his farm on Plattin Creek, where he found more pleasure seeing the kids fill their deer tags than he did his own. Born May 4, 1970, in St. Louis, he was the son of Sharron (Jarrett) and Mickey Fincher of Bonne Terre.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his wife and the love of his life: Karla (Davis) Fincher, whom he married on Dec. 7, 1998; a daughter: Ashley (Colby) Dempsey Davis of Cabot, Ark.; a brother: Lennie (Nikki) Fincher of Farmington; a sister: Penny (Andy) Boyer of Bonne Terre; a sister-in-law: Rhonda (Davis) Schutte of De Soto; two grandchildren: Aubrey and Carly Davis of Cabot, Ark.; nieces and nephews Kylie Mitchell, Baylee Blunt and Makenzie Fincher, all of Farmington, Avery, Elliett and Owen Boyer of Bonne Terre, Shane (Margie) Kuykendall of Festus and Josh Kuykendall of St. Louis; and a number of great-nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents-in-law: Gardenia and Martin Davis; his grandparents: Leborn and Lois Fincher and Conway and Pearl Jarrett; and a brother-in-law: David Schutte.
A celebration of life is scheduled from 4 p.m. until a memorial service at 7 p.m. Friday, July 2, at Cross Point Church / Living Faith Ministries, 2170 Buck Creek Road, in Festus, officiated by Lennie Fincher. Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in honor of Mr. Fincher, who loved children.
