Kenneth Robert Swain Jr., of Rumson, died peacefully on June 12. He attended Glen Ridge Public Schools and following graduation he served our country in the US Army. He graduated with a business degree from Radford University. For the last 30 years, he had a successful career on Wall Street, making lifelong friendships along the way, most recently as a managing director at BTIG.
Kenny was a larger than life man with the biggest of hearts, who was often the first to volunteer his time and support to the community. He was on the Board of AYF and Touchdown Club and coached football and basketball.
He was a loving and dedicated husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and an amazing friend. He had a special way of making you feel like the most important person in the room, leaving a lasting legacy in his seven beautiful children.
