Kenneth Enzo Boudreau

1967 - 2021

Kenneth Enzo Boudreau, 53, of Mansfield Center, passed away Sept. 21, 2021, at St. Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport, after a valiant struggle with a bacterial infection that invaded his bloodstream and attacked his heart. His devoted brother, two sisters, and sister-in-law were at his side throughout.

Kenneth was born Dec. 24, 1967, in Gardner, Massachusetts, and grew up in Baldwinville, Massachusetts. He graduated from Narragansett High School (1985), where he played football and was involved in theater. His life's journey brought him to New Hampshire, Martha's Vineyard, California, Florida, and, finally, Connecticut. He was skilled at carpentry, cabinetry, and other trades. An avid outdoorsman and seeker of wisdom, Kenneth loved all things bright and beautiful, all things wise and wonderful, all creatures great and small. He had an immense passion for life and was always ready with a positive hug for anyone.

Kenneth was predeceased by his father, George J. Boudreau and his mother, Jeannine M. (Monette) Boudreau Roy. He is survived by his son Chase McNiff of Amherst, Massachusetts; his brother Larry (Michelle) Boudreau of Ashburnham, Massachusetts; his two sisters, Nannette Voisine and Suzette (Roger) Goguen, both of Gardner. In addition, he leaves two cherished nieces, Lauren (DJ) Boudreau of Orange, Massachusetts, and Vanessa (Corey) Boudreau of Winchendon, Massachusetts. Kenneth has numerous extended family and dear friends worldwide. They will feel a tremendous void because he has left this physical world. Celebrations of his life have been held in Gardner, and Columbia. If you were not able to attend either of them, give somebody a big hug in Kenneth's memory.
