Kenneth E. Brown, Jr., affectionately known as "Kenny," passed away peacefully on July 1, 2025, in Muskego, WI at the age of 71.
Born on August 4, 1953, in Milwaukee, WI, Kenny was known and loved by many for his outgoing and compassionate nature, a genuine "life of the party," whose warmth drew family and friends close.
Kenny began his professional life as a skilled meat cutter. His ambition and dedication soon guided him in a new direction, leading him to establish K.B. Builders and Remodelers. Doing what he loved, Kenny used his talent in carpentry to bring creativity and craftsmanship into countless homes, creating spaces that families would cherish for generations.
A passionate Harley Davidson enthusiast, Kenny enjoyed nothing more than riding with his friends from the KMC Harley Chapter. He eagerly anticipated Thursday night boy's nights, sharing stories and laughter among close friends.
A man of adventure, Kenny took great joy in cruising and travel, embracing new destinations and experiences throughout his life, always accompanied by his cherished partner, Mary Schneider.
Kenny is lovingly remembered by his only daughter, Kellie (Rob) Czarnecki, and his granddaughter Tabitha, as well as his devoted partner, Mary Schneider. He is also survived by his siblings, Jeanette (Rollie) Timm, Mary Ellen (John) Binder and Loretta (Steve) Giuliani. Further survived by nieces and nephews, Steven Turcotte, Keith Turcotte, Sr., Angie Binder, Danny Binder, Terry Helsper and Michael Schallhorn along with great-nieces and great-nephews, whose lives he enriched immeasurably.
He joins his beloved parents, Kenneth E. Brown, Sr., and Terese M. Brown, in eternal rest.
Family and friends are invited to gather, reminisce and celebrate Kenny's extraordinary life on July 10, 2025, from 4:00-8:00 PM, at VFW New Berlin Post #5716, located at 17980 W. Beloit Rd, New Berlin.
Food will be provided as we honor the vibrancy, kindness and spirit that Kenny brought into this world. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of everyone who was fortunate enough to know him.
In lieu of flowers, please do something in honor of Kenny that he felt passionate about. Become an organ donor, plant a tree or donate to Wounded Warriors or any other military charity as he was passionate about our troops.
Private interment at a later date.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
