Kenneth Edward Kruszewski II

Kenneth Edward Kruszewski II of Union City, PA passed away on December 8, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born November 21, 1969, Kenny was the son of Kenneth Kruszewski Sr. and Toni (Tartaglione) Kruszewski, whom he admired and respected immensely. Kenny made time to visit his parents every single day, right up until the day he passed away.
Kenny was a devoted father to his son, Anthony Kruszewski, and bonus children, Joseph (Selene) DePalma and Kayla DePalma. Kenny was most proud of his role as a father. He was the type of dad who was outside with his kids every day, teaching them to swim, ride bikes, and play sports. He loved watching his kids compete in sports growing up. He never missed a game or milestone, and could always be heard cheering them on in the crowd.
In addition to his children, Ken is survived by a granddaughter, Vanessa DePalma, who he adored. She brought him so much happiness and he loved watching her grow and show off all the new things she was learning.
Kenny was extremely close with his sister, Kari Kruszewski Myers, brother-in-law Dave, niece and goddaughter Kailee (Nick) Myers, and nephew David (Caitlyn) Myers. He could often be found at their house, affectionately teasing them and making the whole room laugh. He absolutely loved being an uncle, and was ecstatic to have become a great-uncle this year to David's son, Jackson Myers.
He also leaves behind the mother of his children, Lori (Luczynski) Kruszewski, his "childhood sweetheart" who he built a family with and remained close friends with after many years of marriage.
Kenny was a devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Indians, and Cleveland Cavaliers. He loved sitting down each week to watch the Cowboys with his sons and rarely missed a Cleveland baseball game.
Kenny was so proud of his camp turned home, affectionately referred to as "The Compound." Perhaps his greatest joy in life was spending time there with his son and best friend Anthony, making fires, working on cars, and building new additions for the home.
Ken will be remembered for his devotion to his family, hilarious sense of humor, love for the outdoors, "unique" fashion sense that always made his loved ones laugh, and his beautiful laugh and smile.
Friends and family are welcome at Brugger Funeral Homes & Crematory, 845 East 38th Street, on Friday, December 12th from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. with a prayer service to follow immediately after the viewing.
