His siblings, Jeffrey Graham, Jessica Promersberger, Cassandra Rilee & Michael Graham and many other family members, relatives, & friends.

Kenny learned how to be many things during his life, he was a very hands on person and could do an astronomical amount of things. Kenny was a great soccer player as a child, in which in turn he taught his brothers Jeff & Michael to be. Kenny also learned how to be an amazing chef at Fazio’s Italian Restaurant working with his brother, Jeffrey Graham. Kenny’s love for cars was undeniable, his favorite being his 1989 Z28 Camaro and his 2007 Chevy Colbolt. Kenny’s passion for cars and growing up learning from his dad Kenneth Sr. is what later led him to become the best car mechanic around, in which Kenny took on many positions working in a few local car shops with addition to countless days/nights working on family or friends vehicles. Kenny met his fiancé Kelli Marlowe in 2011 and had the honor of becoming a father to their first son named after him, Kenneth John Graham III in 2013 and again to their second son, Jaxon Kimball Graham in 2017. Kenny became deeply committed to raising his boys with Kelli and did everything in his power to give them everything in life he possibly could, which included saving for their dream wedding. Kenny had numerous passions in life that also consisted of spending time with family which he created many memories with. Kenny was never too old for “sleep overs” which consisted of many nights with his mother Tammy, his dad Kenneth and some even being with his brothers & sisters. Kennys family was his whole world. He did his best in teaching his children anything he could and spent any spare time he had with them. Kenny even bought his oldest son a telescope and they were learning about astronomy together. Kenny made so many trips to Chuckie Cheese with his kids because they all enjoyed it so much. In addition, Kenny was a loyal fan to the New England Patriots and also served in the Air National guard, where he worked on aircraft & fulfilled his many dreams. Kenny’s hands were rarely still, for he was always ready and willing at a moments notice to give a hand to anyone in need. Kenny was always such a giver to everyone, he chose to be an organ donor and has now given a blind person the miracle of being able to see. He loved very deeply, for it always showed and in turn touched many lives in his time spent here on earth. Kenny was the true definition of a loving son, father, fiancé, brother & friend. Kenny was one of the few left in this world that we all looked up too, or could ask advice to day or night. There will never be enough words to describe how much of a wonderful person he was. Kenny will be deeply missed by many.

Kennys family extend their heartfelt thanks to anyone who has reached out with all support or for any donations made which will go directly to raising Kenny & Kelli’s sons.
