In Memory of Kenny Eagan

Hello, I'm Sam, Kenny's daughter. My dad passed away unexpectedly last week at his home in Dunedin, Florida. He was 73 years old.

I'm asking for your support because my dad did not have burial insurance, and his Veterans Administration Benefits will only cover a small portion of the costs associated with his cremation. Any donation that you can make will help me tremendously as I navigate this unexpected hardship. The funds will be used to help pay for my dad's cremation and burial services, as well as travel costs I have incurred to settle his affairs in Florida.

Born on February 3, 1950, in the Bronx, New York, Kenny and his siblings were raised in Copiague, New York. Kenny grew up in a large Irish Catholic family and was one of seven Eagan boys. He was a graduate of Copiague High School and attended Westchester Community College. He proudly served his country in the Vietnam War and was awarded medals for his time in combat. Kenny was an iron worker, painter, and handyman, and a loving father to me and my brother Jason.

Kenny was an avid reader who enjoyed watching football, fishing, hunting, and camping. Later in life, he loved to sit on his back patio with a cigarette or cup of coffee in hand while watching the dolphins and pelicans. He enjoyed spending his nights in Dunedin at the Sandbar and Commodore Club, and he leaves behind many adoring friends across Florida and New York. Kenny had a zany sense of humor and will be remembered for his generosity, kindness, impressive stories, and outgoing nature.

Thank you for your support and all the sweet memories shared. He was one-of-a-kind and will be greatly missed.
