Kenneth Behagg Obituary
Born in Queens to Patricia (Tennery) and the late Ralph Behagg, Kenneth grew up in Scenic Lakes. Following his graduation from Pope John in 1974, he served in the US Navy. Kenneth was an avid Jets, Mets, Knicks, and Rangers fan. He loved playing competitive softball with his buddies and brothers, coaching his daughter Jennifer's sports teams, going to the casino with his mother, and most of all playing with his grandson, Chase.

Predeceased by his father, Ralph, Kenneth is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Eskin; grandson Chase; mother Patricia Behagg; and siblings Karen, Kim, Kristie, Kirk, Kelley, Kevin; and he loved all of his nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his ex-wife and close friend, Debbie, and his childhood best friends Mike and Dennis, who went to every treatment appointment with Kenneth.

Just heard of the loss of Kenny. My sincere condolences to the family. Having spent my summers, away from brooklyn, at Scienc Lakes Kenny got me on the swim team, played ice hockey on the " little lake" and baseball in the sand pit. Great memories that I will forever cherish. Thank you for the times spent. Rest in peace.
