Yes, exactly like the user abode said. Kenny's death in ObsCure II is obligatory. He's the ending boss and his transformation leads to Mei's death and, much of the plotpoints on the Dam, considering Amy rans away, Kenny... does a bad thing, which leads to the gang finding her and Kenny and Sven taking her away, which that leads to Sven going to the Friedman's mausoleum which leads to Jedidiah knocking him out, and Friedman's house and Leafmore.

And, yes, Ms. Wickson's death is skippable in the original port. Nothing happens if you do it, though, and, if I recall correctly, on the steam version, you actually can't skip her at all.
