Passing of Hightailers Member and Ride Leader.

Tulio J Bertorini | Published on 11/22/2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bill Kenner, a respected figure in the local cycling community.
Kenner was a long-time member of the Memphis Hightailers Bicycle Club and a co-founder of the popular Shady Grove Soiree Weekly Ride. His dedication to the sport was evident long before formal structures were in place; he served as a committed ride leader before the Memphis Hightailers established an official process for the role.
