Kenneth "Kenny" Perrault, beloved father, brother, friend, and adventurer, passed away on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at the age of 62. Born on December 18, 1962, Kenny lived a life filled with curiosity, hard work, and an unmatched love for the people and world around him.
As Kenny grew up, he spent any free time he had wandering in the mountains, Mimbres Valley, and knew the Gila better than most. He loved to get in whatever four-wheel drive he had and find some of the most harrowing places to explore. He loved a good thrill and adventure. He always found a running creek and had to get in and drink some cool, crisp water with his hands.
Kenny was one of the hardest workers you could ever meet and possessed a rare set of skills across many trades. In his professional life, he stood out as one of the best salesmen in his industry. As one of the owners of OnSale Tire stores in Las Cruces and later in other sales positions, he earned a reputation for excellence. Someone once said he could "sell ice to an Eskimo and keep them coming back for more," a testament to his talent, drive, and charm.
But beyond his career achievements, Kenny's greatest gift was his ability to connect with others. His charisma was unmatched, and he always seemed to know just the right words to brighten even the darkest of days—whether for family, friends, or complete strangers. Regardless of time or distance, Kenny truly loved his family and friends. His heart was filled with compassion and empathy for anyone in need, and if Kenny had the means to help, he was always the first to step up.
Kenny's adventurous spirit, generous heart, and unwavering love will forever be remembered by those who had the privilege to know him. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, laughter, and stories that will live on in the hearts of his loved ones.
He is survived by his children Michael Perrault, Jerica Reyes, and Rhiannon Uzueta; his father, Anthony Perrault; 4 siblings, Michael Perrault, Dolores Perrault, Annette (Raul) Guzman, and Duane (Nancy) Perrault; his 2 grandchildren Brooke and Caylum. Along with many cousins, nieces, nephews and other extended family and friends. Kenny was preceded in death by his mother, Consuelo "Connie" Perrault and 2 of his siblings, Tony Ray Perrault and Linda Perrault.
A celebration of Kenny's life will be held on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at 10 o'clock in the morning at Mountain View Cemetery with Mr. Michael Vega officiating. Cremation has been entrusted to Baca's Mimbres Crematory.
