Richard Kenyon Obituary
Richard "Rich" Kenyon, 71, of Clinton, Connecticut, passed away on March 25, 2026. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Rich built a life defined by faith, family, and selfless service to his community.
Rich was a devoted member of the Knights of Columbus, where he served with distinction as a Faithful Navigator - a role that reflected both his deep Catholic faith and his commitment to those around him. He gave generously of his time to the church, and his volunteer spirit touched countless lives over the years.
An avid sports fan, Rich had a special passion for hockey and basketball. He could reliably be found cheering on the UConn Women's Basketball team, whose success he followed with great pride.
He was predeceased by his wife, Karen, and his son, Richard.
Rich is survived by his daughter, Kristy; his son, Jeff; and his cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will carry forward the warmth and devotion he showed to all who knew him.
Service arrangements will be announced at a later date. Condolences may be expressed at Hamdenmemorialfuneralhome.com.
"Well done, good and faithful servant."
