kenan died in 1965. in 1986, the kenan center was founded at the university of north carolina at chapel hill. it houses the kenan institute for the study of private enterprise as well as the "william r. kenan jr. charitable trust" and "william r. kenan jr. fund". moreover, he provided the funds for kenan memorial stadium and it was named, at his request, in honor of his parents. because of the sensitivity of racial issues at the university of north carolina at chapel hill in the 2010's (see silent sam), because of his father william rand kenan sr.'s leadership role in the wilmington insurrection of 1898, the stadium has been rededicated to william kenan jr. ("william sr. was the commander of a white supremacist paramilitary force, which massacred scores of black residents in wilmington, on a single day in 1898.") the kenan–flagler business school at unc is named for him and his sister, mary kenan flagler. the kenan institute for ethics at duke university was founded in 1995. eighty-five endowed professorships at colleges and universities in the united states are named for him.

kel is the slightly dim-witted and clumsy best friend of kenan rockmore. in fact, his impulsive, usually lack of attention, naïvety and awkward behavior, make kel to be accident-prone, might being able to create the biggest disaster with the most ordinary things and actions. but despite this, kel is actually quite intelligent as witnessed by his iq test score, but this does not show in his everyday life. he loves orange soda (which he professes by talking in the third person: "who loves orange soda? kelllll loves orange soda. is it true? mm-hmm! i do, i do, i do-ooooh!") and never pays for the soda he drinks at kenan's place of business, rigby's. in the episode "who loves orange soda", it is revealed that his steady diet for orange soda have caused his insides to be "bright orange". since kel's parents (who have never appeared on the show, though mentioned several times) are rich, busy scientists, he often visits and stays in kenan's home to keep him company. kel also tries to avoid kenan's little sister, kyra, who has a crush on him, but later on in the series, kel feels more comfortable around kyra. kel also manages to get on kenan's dad's bad side with his clumsy behavior and is always forced to go home. he might resist following kenan's schemes at first, but ultimately he is included anyway and kel somehow usually ruins them, although there are a few episodes that end on a high note. despite being clumsy, kel is also an incredible painter, an excellent violinist, and a rapper and does very well in school (unlike kenan). he is always wearing a hat during the course of the series. he is scared of pancakes, butterflies, brassieres, flying, berlin and monkeys. his catchphrase is "awwww, here it goes!" which he says right before the start of the show, and right at the end of the show. at the end of the first part of a 2-part episode, kel would say, "awww, to be continued...", as the words, "to be continued...", would appear on the screen.
