Ret. Col. Floyd L. “Mike” Kennon, Jr., Florida National Guard, 91 of Lake City, passed away on Sunday, March 15, 2020 at home with his family at his side. He was born in Lake City to the late Floyd L. Kennon, Sr. and Clarice Wells Kennon. Mr. Kennon was a graduate of Columbia High School class of 1946 and had attended both the University of Florida and Stetson University. Mr. Kennon went on to serve with the Florida National Guard with 31 years of service retiring at the rank of Colonel. He worked for many years with Kennon Tractor Company and Hackney Brothers Tractors. Mr. Kennon also served as a congressional aid to Don Fuqua and Bill Grant and served as the membership coordinator for Columbia County Chamber of Commerce. He was a devoted family man, a longtime member and Elder of the First Presbyterian Church of Lake City and enjoyed fishing at Suwannee, Florida.
