Kernel Panics are predominately caused by hardware faults or faulty third-party kernel extensions.

If your Mac spontaneously restarts or displays a ... - Apple Support

You can post your Kernel Panic report in their entirety here, preferable three separate reports in three separate "Additional Text" box (see menu below) for ease of reading and comparison. A single report may be useful but does not establish a trend for a meaningful diagnosis.

Kernel Panic reports can be found /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

From the Finder>Go>Go To Folder, copy and paste:

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

ends in .panic post the whole report if it meets that.

I was able to fix the issue in an unusual way. I am running two external monitors which seems to be part of the issue. I disconnected them both. Used the computer for a day without any external monitors. Then I connected one to see if the issue would occur again. The computer went through a few resets over a few days with the single monitor. I then added the second monitor and haven't had any issues since.
