Kenny Foulds
June 18, 1975 – December 25, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kenny Foulds, 49, who left us unexpectedly on Christmas Day 2024. Born on June 18, 1975, and raised in Chelsea, Kenny was a beloved figure in his community, known for his warmth, laughter, and infectious spirit. He attended St. Stanislaus Parochial School before completing his education at Northeast Vocational High School. Kenny committed over 20 years of his life as a dedicated Lead Technician at AFA Protective Systems, where he was admired by colleagues for his expertise and reliability. Outside of work, he was a true entertainer at heart, relishing the moments spent grilling in his custom-designed “Grill-Zebo” and hosting lively games of Cornhole, bringing friends and family together in joyous celebration.
Over the past 11 years, Kenny made his home in Lynn, where he poured his love and devotion into his family. He was the beloved father of Alysha Foulds and her significant other, Stephen Colling, reveling in the role of “Papa” to their two precious daughters, Aria and Ava Colling. Kenny’s caring spirit extended beyond his immediate family and he is survived by his devoted father, Kenneth S. Foulds, Sr. along with his loving mother, Linda M. (Juliano) Froio and stepfather, Robert.
He was a cherished brother of Michael Foulds and a supportive stepbrother to Bobby Froio, Cheryl Pacheco, and Jennifer McClaren. Kenny’s legacy of love will be carried on by dear friends, Miguel and Soveida and their daughters, Iylah and Ariana, alongside of a close circle of friends and extended family. Relatives and friends are most kindly invited to attend visiting hours for Kenny in the Welsh Funeral Home, 718 Broadway, Chelsea, on Thursday, January 2nd from 5 to 7 p.m.
His funeral will be conducted from the funeral home on Friday, January 3rd at 10 a.m. Immediately followed by a Funeral Mass in Our Lady of Grace Church, 59 Nichols St., Chelsea at 11 a.m. To send expressions of sympathy, visit www.welshfh.com.
