Kenneth Rizzitano

Kenneth Rizzitano, affectionately known as “Kenne,” was someone whose warmth and kindness touched everyone around him. Born on March 23, 1957, in Somerville, MA, he made a lasting impact on those who knew him through his humor, insight, and genuine love for life.

A graduate of Malden High School, Kenneth had a deep curiosity about the world. In his younger years, he traveled widely, exploring different places and cultures.

He was a proud longtime resident of Malden, Massachusetts, where he created a home that reflected his generous spirit—always open and welcoming. He is survived by his cousin, John Repice. He was predeceased by his father, Anthony Rizzitano, and his mother, Basilia Rizzitano.

Kenneth’s life reminds us of the importance of being true to ourselves, following our passions, and showing kindness whenever we can. As we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the many memories he leaves behind.

We invite all who knew Kenneth to share their memories and upload photos to his memorial page so we can remember and honor his life together.
