The Family of Hutson Travis Kuykendall, Jr, age 83 of Canton, GA, wish to announce his passing on July 10, 2024. Travis, as he was most known by, was a member of Canton First Methodist Church. He was a retiree from Lockheed-Georgia Company following 45 years of service. Travis was also a contractor and master plumber owning his own businesses for many years. He was very proud to have been a Master Mason and Shriner for nearly 40 years. In that time, he held positions of leadership in both orders holding the highest position in more than one lodge. Travis devoted much of his time and resources toward fundraising to provide care for crippled and burned children and the Shriner Childrens Hospitals. Travis had many interests including golfing, crafting, and cars. He loved Street-rodding and showed his 1946 Mercury Coupe at many rallies over the years. He was also a dare-devil racing multiple set-up Camaros on short strip tracks around Georgia. And Travis was a musician. In his early years, he played with a local Marietta band that was fortunate enough to have played back-up at a few celebrity concerts. But he loved playing the Mountain Dulcimer the most and was a member of the Hilltop Strummers Dulcimer group. He loved playing for the nursing homes and other venues for which the group played. Above all, Travis had a strong belief in God, and loved his family. He is survived by his wife, Brenda, two step-daughters, Lori Flink (David) and Nicolie Griffin (Emil); one son, Eddie Kuykendall; three grandchildren, Alexandria Lennon, Holden Lennon, Nicolas Griffin; one brother, Cliff Kuykendall (Becky); one brother-in-law, Steve Luther (Sherry); and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
