Kendall Vance McKean Jr.'s Obituary
Kendall Vance McKean Jr., born October 24, 1963, passed away July 9, 2021. Kendall was born in Newport Beach, California, the youngest of six children: Patrick, Debbi, Steve, David and Kathy. He spent much of his childhood in Hesperia, California, before moving to St. Helens, Oregon, where he soon swore he’d never leave.
Kendall worked as a truck driver, mechanic, and iron scrapper, but most enjoyed restoring and selling cars. By far, however, Kendall’s greatest joy was raising his son, Jon. He has been described as “the best father,” imparting many skills and guiding love.
Kendall is survived by his son Jon; brothers Patrick and Steve; sisters Debbi and Kathy; and many, many great friends.
