A Fighter’s Heart, A Gentle Soul
The Lafayette community is mourning the loss of a true legend, Kenny Vice, who passed away at the age of 64. Kenny was a man of contrasts—a former boxer with the heart of a gentle giant. He was a fighter in the ring, but in life, he was a source of unwavering support and kindness. His spirited personality was infectious, and his passion for life was a powerful force that drew people to him. But beyond the boxing gloves and the ring, Kenny’s greatest legacy was his dedication to helping others. He was a mentor, a coach, and a friend who used his own life experience to guide and uplift those around him. He taught young people not just how to box, but how to be resilient, disciplined, and strong in the face of life’s challenges. His passing leaves a void in our community that can never be filled, a silence where his powerful and encouraging voice once was. We will forever remember the man who fought with his hands, but lived with his heart.
A Mentor’s Legacy of Unwavering Dedication
Kenny Vice’s impact on the Lafayette community went far beyond his career as a boxer. He was a true mentor, a person who took the time to invest in the lives of others.

Kenny’s dedication was unwavering; he was a constant presence, a person who was always there to offer a word of encouragement, a piece of advice, or a much-needed push in the right direction. He taught his mentees the importance of discipline, hard work, and integrity, lessons that will stay with them for a lifetime. The countless individuals whose lives were positively impacted by Kenny’s guidance are a testament to his profound influence. His legacy is not in the championships he may have won, but in the people he helped shape and the futures he helped build. He was a true community builder, and his work will continue to inspire and uplift us all.
