Kenneth was the eldest son born to Betty Jean Jackson Lyons Lockett and Curtis Lyons Jr.

Having a deep love for God and his Word he accepted Christ at a young age and was
baptized at Jones United Methodist Church. He attended Mary McCleod Bethune High
School and later attended Welsh High School. As a young adult, he spent time on the road
in the trucking industry and later as a laborer in construction of Louisiana and Texas

doing mechanical work. "If it wasn't working, Mutt could get it rolling/running again."
