Kenny Salazar

Jack County Pct. 2 Commissioner and long-time DJ Kenny Salazar danced through the pearly gates on February 19, 2025. Kenny was born on January 23, 1968, in Bridgeport, Texas. 

Kenny has always been the life of the party. You would know he was there by his infectious laughter or a slap on the back. 

A man of many talents and interests, he enjoyed his Harley, music, playing the drums, his dogs, Roxy and Lola, and the Texas Longhorns. But most of all he loved God, his family and his community. 

Much too cool for a traditional grandpa name, Kenny was known as Bam Bam to his grandkids and their friends. He enjoyed spending time taking them fishing, riding the side by side, and riding in his truck with the windows down and the music up. 

Kenny was married to the love of his life, Amy, for 34 years. Opposites in every way, she kept him in line as best she could, and he kept her laughing and shaking her head at his antics. 

Kenny is survived by his wife, Amy Salazar; daughters, Cameron (George) Garza of Perrin, Sadie Bolton of Brownwood, Kaley Salazar (Sanch Ramirez) of Mineral Wells, and Kaitlyn (Ty) Ashley of Perrin. Grandchildren, Brody Bolton, Isaac Ramirez, Braelee Bolton, Isaiah Ramirez, Emersyn Garza, Watson Ashley, Bellamy Garza, and Elias Ramirez will miss their Bam Bam terribly. He leaves behind his parents, Lucy Robbins of Perrin, and Wally and JoAnn Salazar of Bridgeport as well as his younger siblings Debbie Brock of Perrin, Jr Salazar of Perrin, and Denise Salazar of Bridgeport. He will also be missed by numerous in-laws, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his beloved community. 

Kenny will be greeted in heaven by his Pops, Tim Robbins, and his grandparents, Vera Nava, Troy and Ann Robbins, and Sonny and Mary Garces. 

Visitation will be at the Baum-Carlock Funeral Home in Mineral Wells on Saturday, February 22, 2025, from 6-8pm. Kenny’s funeral will be officiated by Pastor Mark Sims at the First Baptist Church of Mineral Wells on Monday, February 24, 2025, at 10am. Burial will follow at Perrin Cemetery. 

Though our hearts are heavy, we know this isn’t goodbye. It’s just, “Catch ya later.”
