Richard Kenney Obituary

 We are beyond devastated and our hearts are shattered as Richard leaves us much too soon. 

Richard Ian Kenney was born in Smithown, NY on September 23rd, 1992 to Richard and Linda Kenney(predeceased). He was loved by his fiancée Justine Goldstein. A loving brother to Christine (Dan),Brittany and Jimmy.  Beloved Uncle to Danny, Jack, Riley, Chris, Mason, and Cameron. A loved nephew by many Aunts and Uncles. 

Richard was a groundskeeper for the Smithtown Central School District and a very talented landscaper for many years who put his heart into all his work. 

Richard brought so much happiness to everyone who knew him. He was the best brother, son, nephew, uncle and friend anyone could ask for. His kindness, warmth, and infectious smile has left an unforgettable mark on our lives.

He was so excited about his life ahead with Justine, and they had so many dreams yet to fulfill.

Losing him is a true tragedy, and the thought of living without him is unbearable. He will forever be in our hearts, and we will cherish every moment we had with him.

Rest in peace our brother. You are deeply loved and will be greatly missed. Now you are with Mom.
