Christopher James Kenny

Christopher “Chris” James Kenny, also known as “Topher”, age 35, of Dallas Georgia passed away Friday, February 17, 2023. He was born August 29, 1987 in Farmington, Connecticut. Chris grew up in Connecticut and only relocated to Georgia a year ago. While growing up in Connecticut, he met the love of his life, Becky, when they were just 13 years old. They became husband and wife on April 25, 2014 and just a few years later started a family. Chris was a loving son, brother, nephew, an amazing father and a devoted husband. The word “great” does not even begin to describe how wonderful a person Chris was. He was truly “one in a million”. As a friend and a family member, Chris was always lending a helping hand, to anyone he met. A talented artisan of woodworking and carpentry, he could be found crafting up something new in the garage, leaving sawdust everywhere. He could fix anything, was the “go-to” guy for many repairs and such. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather (Pépère), he had many talents and could never sit still. A car enthusiast, he enjoyed watching Nascar, and car shows. More recently, he and his uncle (father-figure) Shep brought an Oldsmobile “442” back to life and was thrilled to drive it in the Lake George car show this past year. If it had a motor, he would put his own personal twist on customizing it. A camping enthusiast, Chris enjoyed camping with his family at Indian Fields Campground in Connecticut, which was their “home away from home” with family and friends. Even though Chris and Becky had spent the majority of their lives in Connecticut, they made Georgia their home. They are blessed to have wonderful neighbors, who became more like “family”. Chris was loved by everyone who met and knew him and will be missed by all who loved him.

Preceding him in death were his infant sister, Nicole Marie Kenny; stepfather, Edward Leo Guidi; maternal grandfather, Albert Chasse; maternal grandmother, Rinette Chasse; paternal grandfather, Elroy Kenny, Sr.; paternal grandmother, Irene Kenny; and mother-in-law, Isabel Querido.

Those left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife of almost nine years, Rebecca Kenny; two sons, Mason Kenny and Connor Kenny; father, Elroy Kenny, Jr.; mother, Cathy Guidi; brother, Tyler Kenny (Stela Veli); a cousin who was more like a sister, Lauren Brace (Michael) and their son, Maverick, who was going to be Chris’ godson; aunts and uncles, (co-parents) Michael “Shep” and Sharri Shepherd, Stephen and Lynn Johnson, Robert and Andrea Zmich and Susan Kenny (Ken Olson); cousins, Mitchell Johnson (Kassidy Walraven) and their son, Lane; Heather Johnson (Nicholas Crook) and Eric Walz; as well as a large extended family and friends.

A celebration of life will take place at a later time and be shared separately.
