“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.” (John 11:25)

Kenneth Karam
Peacefully with his family by his side, Kenney’s last breaths were taken with the beauty of nature, the sound of birds singing, and gentle Elvis ballads in the background, enveloped and embraced by his family’s love. So very loved and loving, Kenney, (affectionately, “Captain Silly”, “Fred Flintstone”, “Ammo-Nition” “Kinney”, “Kennebunkport”), was the cherished son of Jamal and the late Nabih Karam, treasured father of Noahh, David, Grace, and James, dearest ‘Baba’ to grandson Mason, loved little brother of Edward, (Colleen), and Ron, (Susan), survived by the mother of his children Amal, adored and silly uncle to nieces and nephews Justine, Jacob, Siobhan, Jesse, Jehan, Jedidiah, Jamal, Caleb, Michael, Tarek, Will, and Jenni.
Kenney will always be remembered for his ever-present sense of humour and selfless heart, his unconditional love, his kind, charismatic smile, his endless stream of corny and clever jokes, his incredible resourcefulness, his love of Star Trek, but mostly for his absolute devotion to his children and grandson.
