ANDERSON TOWNSHIP - Kenneth Harold Young, a graphic designer and
producer for the Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky,
died Monday of complications of leukemia at Mercy Hospital
Anderson. He was 38.

"Scarcely a person could watch cable TV without seeing some of
Kenny's graphic work," said John Stephenson of Fort Mitchell,
former superintendent of public instruction for Kentucky and
former chairman of the Telecommunications Board's Community
Program Center.

Born in Cincinnati on Dec. 28, 1966, Mr. Young graduated in 1984
from Norwood High School, where he was active with the media
center. He worked for the Community Program Center, which
produces religious, public access and government programs for
Kenton, Campbell, Boone, Grant, Gallatin, Owen and Pendleton
counties.

He had a passion for UFOs and produced several programs re-
creating sightings. He also played the piano at nursing homes.
And he loved his dog, Boo. "Everywhere he went, he took that dog
with him," Stephenson said.

Mr. Young, who had been fighting leukemia for the past 10 years,
"saw the big picture of life because he understood the little
things in life," Stephenson said. "Many of us knew Kenny was in
pain, but we also knew that Kenny did not want to stop the show
for his pain."

Survivors include: his mother, Carol Waller Young Boettger of
Anderson; a brother, Gary McCarty of Laurel, Miss.; and a
sister, Cindy Porter of Florence.

Visitation is 1 p.m. today at Chambers & Grubbs Funeral Home,
8461 U.S. 25 South in Florence, followed by the funeral at 2
p.m. Interment will be at Walton Cemetery.
