DOVER: Kenneth “Ken” John Healy, Jr., 53, passed away on May 30, 2022 at the Wentworth Douglass Hospital in Dover, NH.

He married Maureen MacDonald on September 2, 2000 and they had four children together. Ken was a wonderful father. He never missed an event to support them, in school and especially sports. He loved to coach them, was their biggest cheerleader and fiercest protector. He was always there for his children.

Ken always put his family first. He had a love of the outdoors, fishing, biking, hiking, skiing, camping & going to York Beach. He followed all the New England Sports teams, Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins.
