Kendall Jose Thomas Reece Turtle was born December 9, 1988 in Clinton, OK and raised in Oklahoma City where he became very fond of meeting new people everywhere he went. In his youth, Kendall was very sure of one thing, and that was always smiling. He could light up any room he walked into. He had a passion for art at a young age and enjoyed learning trades such as landscaping, bike maintenance, carpentry, building houses and working in construction. Most importantly he loved giving someone else a reason to smile from saying "Hey, whats up" to always ending the conversation in "I love you!". He would hug you randomly, just so you knew you werent alone. To him that meant the world. There wasnt a single person he met that didnt walk away without a big cheese or a laugh. He is that "Favorite Uncle" to everyones children. He enjoyed being involved in their lives, teaching them things from arts and crafts to some of lifes lessons. He had a light inside him that was a beacon to many. Anyone who needed help no matter how big or small he was there to light the way; he was loyal to a fault.
He was preceded in death by mother, Kimberly Kay Turtle; grandfather, Raymond Turtle and uncle, Stephen Lee Turtle.
He is survived by daughters, Gabriellah Myjoy 10 years old and Zella Rae Benson 6 years old; son, Josiah David Steven Malone 5 years old; sisters, Belicia Rios, Dolores Bulock, and Moriah Fokumlah; uncles, Kevin Tiger, Rolando Lopez, Robert Old Bear and Timothy Turtle; aunts, Paula Chibitty and Yolanda Sanchez; and a multitude of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
Honorary pallbearers; Ikaika Dean, Antwone Johnson, Marcus Briggs, Jr., Mark Anthony Sanchez, Christopher Sanchez and Jovanni Sanchez.
