We’re celebrating Chef Kenneth Markham, who has been part of the Aurora family for over 12 years. Chef Kenny’s passion for cooking began in his grandmother’s kitchen and inspired a lifetime of creating meals that brought joy to so many.

Chef Kenny’s legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched and the love he brought into the kitchen. He will always be remembered for his talent, kindness, and the warmth he shared with everyone around him. Our hearts are with his family during this difficult time. Oakland's son gone far too soon.
