Kenneth J. Poolton, Jr, age 59, of Brooklawn, NJ, passed away on May 3, 2026.

A dedicated and extremely hardworking man, he took immense pride in his career as a millwright. Outside of work, he found freedom on the open road riding his motorcycle and enjoyed spending time shooting his guns and anything to do with racecars.  Ken was also an avid fisherman.  He cherished every opportunity to travel to North Carolina to visit loved ones, creating countless memories. Known as the life of the party, Ken had a way of bringing people together wherever he went. His contagious personality, sense of humor, and ability to make everyone feel welcome will never be forgotten.

Devoted father of Kenneth M. Poolton (Candace) and Lauren Poolton. Dear brother of Jacqueline Poolton and the late Debbie Renzi. Loving grandfather of Carter. He is also survived by many cherished friends.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
