Kenneth Van Harrell
April 23, 1977 - November 13, 2021
Kenneth Van Harrell (also known as
Kenny, or Junior) was born at Community
Hospital in Pendleton, OR on April 23rd,
1977, to parents Ken & Karen Harrell. He
passed away peacefully at
Kadlec Hospital on Satur-
day, November 13th, 2021,
with his mom, wife and son
by his side at the age of 44.
with the boys by their side. From the start
of their relationship, Kenny considered the
boys his own. He took them everywhere.
They would paintball or go to the moun-
tains hunting or fishing. You
could also find Kenny and
the boys eating breakfast at
Jack in the Box nearly every
Sunday morning.
When Kenny was two
years old, the family, which
now included younger sister,
Kilee, moved to Hermiston.
Kenny attended elementa-
ry school at West Park and
Sunset, and went to Armand
Larive Junior High. He at-
tended Hermiston High
School for his freshman
year, then transferred to Echo High School,
where he completed his high school years.
In grade school he was on the swim team
for several years, and absolutely loved it.
He also played Little League baseball, and
high school football.
The newest addition
to the family was a grand-
daughter, Kinslee Ann Jones.
She was Papa’s girl, and ab-
solutely had him wrapped
around her little finger. Ken-
ny bought Kinslee her very
first rifle, a .22 Cricket for
her 1st birthday, and he was
so looking forward to teach-
ing her to shoot & taking her to Hunters
Safety class, and sharing his love of the
mountains, and time at the cabin with her.
Kenny’s biggest passion was being
outdoors, in the mountains hunting ev-
ery season he was able to. He also loved
to fish. If you didn't find him with a gun
or fishing pole, there was a pretty good
chance you would find him with a chain
saw somewhere, looking for that one tree
that would be the biggest challenge to cut
down to prevent it from falling on any
nearby structures. He got great satisfaction
when the tree would fall exactly where he
had planned for it to. He loved sharing his
love of the mountains, hunting, fishing,
and cutting wood with his wife and boys.
Kenny was also an avid gun collector, and
strongly believed in the 2nd Amendment,
and our right to keep and bear arms.
At the age of 16, Kenny went to work
at the Umatilla, OR branch of Wilbur El-
lis Company. His dad Ken, also worked
there at the time, and that is where Kenny
got the nickname "Junior." At the time of
his death, Kenny worked for Western Ag
Improvements.
Kenny met his wife Tiffany, and her
two boys Justin and Beau, in August 2001.
On July 19, 2003 the four of them became
a family when Kenny and Tiffany married
Kenny is survived by his loving wife
of 18 years, Tiffany, his son Justin Jones,
granddaughter Kinslee Ann, his parents
Ken & Karen, sister Kilee (Kevin) Mc-
Neeley, nephew Jordan, nieces Jenna &
Hannah. He is also survived by his in-laws
Don & Sandy Obrist, Kim (Jim) Sexton,
nephew Tyler (Alanna) Sexton, Emily
(Kyler) Barton, a great niece & nephew,
and Grandma Thelma, as well as many
other aunts, uncles and cousins. Kenny un-
doubtedly left a mark on the lives of those
who knew and loved him, and he will be
missed beyond measure.
He was preceded in death by his
Grandparents Elizabeth & William O'Dell,
his best friend - his Great Grandpa Van,
Grandpa Bud, Uncle Jim, Tiffany's Grand-
pa Bill, and several aunts and uncles.
A Celebration of Life service following
state guidelines will be held on Saturday,
January 15th, 2022 at 1:00 P.M. at. the
Hermiston Conference Center, Hermiston,
Oregon.
Please share memories of Kenny with
his family at burnsmortuaryhermiston.com

is in care of arrangements.
