Kendall Donald Dedeaux, age 58, of Ocean Springs, passed away on February 5, 2023, in Ocean Springs.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Clayton and Irene Hoda; his paternal grandparents, Howard and Ida Dedeaux; and a brother, Rodney Blake Dedeaux. 

Kendall is survived by his parents, Donald and Margie Dedeaux; his children, Ashley (Gilbert), April (Houston), and Austin (Nancy); his siblings, Sheila, and Craig (Jolinda); his grandchildren, Heidi, Cohen, Zayne, Corbyn, and Croix; and he had a special relationship with his nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He was a native of Gulfport where he was a 1982 graduate of Gulfport High School and attended the University of Southern Mississippi. Kendall worked in the food industry more than 30 years stretching from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee and was responsible for many major events and concerts in the Gulf South region. Being born and raised on the Gulf Coast, he enjoyed boating, fishing, socializing with friends, and spending time with his family. Anytime on the water was a great time for him!

He was an avid member of the Who Dat Nation but most importantly, Kendall adored his 3 children and 5 grandchildren.

The family would like to say thank you to Dr. Carter and MD Anderson, Dr. Zarzour.  Also, to the Ocean Springs Hospital and staff including the 2 East Staff especially Aubrey and Christy.
