November 2, 1989 — July 16, 2023

Kenny is survived by mother Dawn nee Sciaccotta (Vic) Menendez, siblings Stacy Bratcher, Keith (Kristin) Bratcher, and Karl (Whitney) Long, niece and nephews Kayla, Connor, Paxton, Vincent and Thomas, nephew to Kathy Sciaccotta, (Don) Hardt and Tami (Mike) Marcanio, and grandson to Anthony Sciaccotta, and lots of cousins.

He is preceded in death by his father, James F. Long, grandparents, Leona Long and Kathleen Paradis, Aunt, Terri Hardt, nephew, Beckham Bratcher and cousin, Kelly Williams.

Kenny, aged 33, was born in 1989, and with his vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. He had a passion for football, spending countless hours both playing and cheering for his favorite teams. Kenny's love for online PC gaming, especially Destiny, brought him closer to a large circle of friends who shared his enthusiasm.

With his sharp intellect and love for knowledge, Kenny was a book-smart individual who embraced learning. His quick wit and sarcastic humor made him the life of the party, and he particularly enjoyed indulging in the comedic brilliance of SNL and various renowned comedians.

Music was a cornerstone of Kenny's life, serving as both a source of inspiration and a constant companion. He immersed himself in all genres, finding solace, motivation, and joy in the rhythm and lyrics. Kenny's close friendships were cherished, especially with Nathan, Danny, Andrew, and others who shared countless late-night, unsupervised drives filled with adventure and laughter. One unforgettable memory includes an impulsive moment during a carwash when his brother Karl playfully opened the windows, resulting in a hilarious and unexpected experience.

Kenny's presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His intelligence, humor, love for gaming, and passion for music have left an indelible mark on our lives. In our hearts, his spirit will forever live on.
