It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Kenneth A. Andre, age 67, of Philadelphia, PA, who departed this life on December 1, 2025. Born on September 23, 1958, in Philadelphia, Kenneth was a beloved son, brother, partner, and friend.
He is survived by his loving life partner, Debbie Gioia; his brothers, Stephen and Michael (Kelly); along with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and countless friends whose lives he touched. Kenny is preceded in death by his father, Ronald G. Andre; his mother, Barbara T. Andre; and his sisters, Marlene and Lauren Andre.
Kenny dedicated many years of his life to working as a security guard, where he exhibited unwavering commitment and service. He also found joy as a maintenance worker at Fairmount, a role that allowed him to connect with Debbie, the love of his life. Together, they shared a passion for classic movies and shows, creating cherished memories in each other's company.
As an avid motorcycle enthusiast, Kenny took immense pleasure in riding his beloved Harley and Triumph. His adventurous spirit and zest for life were evident every time he hit the open road. He was also a devoted Philadelphia Eagles fan, finding joy in attending games and cheering for his team, a testament to his infectious love for sports.
More than just an adventurer, Kenneth was a gentle homebody. He adored tending to his garden, filling his space with flowers, and recreating his mother's famous "noodle burgers". Though he would often be described as a cat person, his heart was equally full for his beloved Collies, Mabel and Molly, who brought him immeasurable joy.
Kenneth will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to know him. His warm spirit, kindness, and laughter will forever remain in our hearts.
Funeral services will be held on December 20, 2025 at Koller Funeral Home, 6835 Ridge Ave. Family and friends are invited greet Kenny's family beginning at 12 Noon. A Memorial Service will follow at 2:00 PM. All are invited to gather to honor and celebrate his life, sharing stories and memories that reflect the love he brought into this world.
