KAHNY, STEVEN HENRY
On September 6, 2024, Steven Henry Kahny passed away in Ocala, Florida. He was 70 years old.
Steve was born on August 4, 1954, in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. He attended Hopewell Valley Central High School. Steve was very proud of working his way up in the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority from laborer, advancing to Composting Forman. He worked hard for everything he had.
Steve didn't have children of his own, but he made up for it by being the adored “Uncle Steve”, to his sister's children. He was brave enough to take the rowdy youngsters on road trips, and experience the joys of kids fighting in the backseat of his car. He would take the boys to Eagles football games and the annual Thanksgiving Day parades in NYC.
Steve was always the life of the party. He was loved by his many friends and family. Steve was known for hosting his annual AFC-NFC football parties for all his buddies.
Holiday dinners with family were a special time for Steve. He always had an endless grace prepared that he would eloquently read, while the children watched their gravy congeal.
Steve was a member of Cannon Lodge No. 104 F.& A.M. and a dual member of Hereford Lodge. He was raised in 1997, was a two time Right Worshipful Master and Past Grand Chaplain of the 24th Masonic District. Steve was a member of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Crescent Shrine, and Royal Arch Mason.
Steve was a confirmed bachelor until he rekindled a long ago romance with the love of his life, Caroline. Steve was a wonderful, loving husband and took his commitment to his wife very seriously. They made a warm, loving home together, and enjoyed quiet times as well as traveling extensively together.
Steve is survived by his beloved wife of 14 years, Caroline. She will miss him so much. He will most certainly be missed by his sisters, Julie (Steve) Nash and Elizabeth (Dan) Biggs. Steve's Dad, Victor Weil, will miss their Sunday evening chats and sharing of books. Steve's nieces and nephews will miss their Uncle Steve for sure. Jeffrey (Christina) Nash, Addie Nash, Katherine (Shawn) McDonald, Curtis (Chelsea) Corson, and Somers (Jessie) Corson along with all their children.
Steve was also well thought of by his wife's grown sons. Joseph (Jamie) Pelan, Curtis Pelan, and Thurman Thompson. He will be missed by Caroline's grandchildren, Vivian and Joseph Pelan.
Steve was predeceased by his beautiful Mother, Patricia Ann Weil and his father, Harry Charles Kahny, and his younger brother, Kurt Weil.
A Masonic Service followed by a Memorial Service will be held for Steve at 10:30 on September 18, 2024, at the Messiah Lutheran Church, 2298 N Route 9, Cape May Court House, NJ.
In lieu of flowers, the family would love to see donations made in Steve's memory to the Tunnel to Towers foundation. Steve thought very highly of this organization.
