Kenneth Steven Cloud was born on March 31, 1960, the first of four sons born to Michael P. and Theresa Fox Cloud.<\/p>\n
Kenny left us tragically on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 of cardiac arrest after enjoying a day full of skiing with his students from Helena Middle School.<\/p>\n
Kenny was educated in the Helena schools and graduated from Helena High in 1978. He continued his education at Northern Idaho College and the University of Montana, and he received his degree in Education from Eastern Montana College in 1984. He further extended his education at Black Hills State College and went on to receive his masters from MSU Northern. Kenny taught for 25 years at schools in Custer, SD and Helena, 21 of those at Helena Middle School.<\/p>\n
Kenny married Carol Hauck of Billings in 1983. Of that union, a daughter, Stephanie Jean was born. Kenny then married the love of his life, Tammy Allen on July 22, 2006. Tammy was everything to Kenny and he loved her dearly.<\/p>\n
Not only was Kenny a respected teacher, but also a coach, having coached high school football and wrestling in South Dakota and as well as high school football and wrestling along with USA Wrestling in Helena. Kenny also had the great privilege of being a representative for the state of Montana for Team Montana and traveled to Germany to wrestle in 1977.<\/p>\n
His many hobbies included boating, bird hunting, fishing, time spent with his nieces and nephews, sports card collecting and following his beloved Helena High Bengals, Montana Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, St. Louis Rams, Baltimore Orioles – especially his idol, Cal Ripken \u2013 and the activities in which his wife, brothers, and nieces and nephews participated. Kenny will be terribly missed by his companions, his pets, Skye, Jazz and Chipper.<\/p>\n
