Kenneth P. Barry

A perfect day for Kenny Barry might be described by great fish stories from a good day on the water in his boat…to return home to the wonderful smile and embrace of his four year old daughter, Ava and a kiss from his much loved wife, Liana who has made his heart smile since even before August 14, 2010 when they married on the Cape. The day would also be spent barbecuing and sitting by the fire pit with family and friends with the sounds from the radio or television in the background with a great Red Sox or Patriots game. And of course…his much loved dog Maggie would always be by his side. There were many good days like this for Kenny.

Kenny died unexpectedly at home on Monday, April 29, 2019. He was 38. 



Born on April 1, 1981 in Waltham he was a son of Karen L. (McHugh) Barry and the late David J. Barry. Raised in Waltham he attended Waltham Public Schools and graduated with the class of 2000 from Waltham High School.
