Our hearts are broken as our precious Owen Tillman Kenney, 19, of Tinton Falls, passed away on October 31st, in Charleston, South Carolina.

Owen was a lifelong resident of Tinton Falls and attended St. James Elementary School and was a graduate of Red Bank Catholic High School (Class of 2024). Owen was a sophomore at the College of Charleston, where he studied his first semester abroad in Rome.

Owen loved his family and friends. Owen loved to surf. Owen loved to golf. Owen loved to fish. Owen loved to travel. Owen loved good food and was quick to point out when it was "trash". Owen had faith and he loved God.

Owen will forever be remembered as a kind, gentle, beautiful soul who touched the lives of so many in his short time with us. His smile brightened every room and his laugh was contagious. Our precious Owen will be eternally in our hearts.

Owen is the beloved son of Tanya and Kevin Kenney; the adored brother of USMC Lance Corporal Ryan Kenney; and the cherished grandson of Pat and Kevin Kenney and Yasuyo Fan and her husband Vitus Fan. Owen is also survived by loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
