KENNA, RON – 16th October 2025 Passed suddenly.
Dearly beloved husband of Jennifer, devoted father to Nicholas and Bianca Kenna. Treasured son of the late Gertrude Kenna, and survived by his father Ronnie Kenna. Loving brother of Amanda and Karen, and brother-in-law Alan. Cherished son-in-law of Heather, the late Robert Baum, and brother-in-law of Jessica and Sarah. A much-loved uncle to George, Orren, Joshua, Reuben, Travis, and Sydney, and adored by countless aunts, uncles, cousins, and his beloved fur babies Loki, Juno, Jasper, and Bella, together now with Saber, Harpo, and Ruby (deceased).
As a proud member of the Northern Irish diaspora, Ron spent much of his life in England and the United States, where he was married and built a wide network of friendships before returning home to Northern Ireland.
Ron was an innovator and trailblazer — known as the man who, together with his wife Jennifer, brought the celebration of culture, community, and shared joy to the streets of Belfast, later expanding to London, Liverpool, and most recently Manchester.
Since founding Wee Toast Tours in 2014, Ron and Jennifer helped raise over £1.5 million for charity, connecting people from all walks of life through laughter, music, and a shared love of life.
