Kegan Kareem Mooney

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kegan Kareem Mooney, a cherished son, dedicated father, beloved partner, and loyal friend. Kegan departed this life on September 30, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. His unwavering strength and dignity in the face of adversity were a testament to the incredible man he was. Kegan was born on January 4, 1979, in the beautiful town of Oceanside, New York, to his loving parents, Flave Harris Mooney Jr. and Jessie Mooney. He was blessed with a large and supportive family that included his siblings, Carl Harris Mooney III, Rashau Mooney, Dequan Mooney, and Taykima Mooney, all of whom he shared countless cherished memories with. Kegan's life was further enriched by his four wonderful children: Kasia, Alyssa, Devante, and Assada Mooney, who were his pride and joy. His love for them was boundless, and he took immense pride in watching them grow and achieve their dreams. For the past three years, Kegan was the devoted partner of Tiffany Greens. Their union brought warmth and happiness to a family of four, and together, they created a loving and supportive household. Kegan's god brother, Keith Saunders, was also a significant part of his life, offering unwavering support and companionship. In his pursuit of personal growth and fulfillment, Kegan completed his GED in 2005, demonstrating his commitment to education and self-improvement. He served his country with honor in the United States Army until a medical discharge brought him back home, where he continued to serve his community as a licensed security officer for Metro One Loss Prevention. His work was marked by dedication, integrity, and a steadfast commitment to ensuring the safety and security of those around him. Beyond his professional life, Kegan was a passionate and accomplished chess player. The game was more than a pastime for him; it was a way to connect with others, strategize, and challenge himself. He found joy and fulfillment in each match he played, whether with friends or in professional competitions. As we remember Kegan, let us celebrate the warmth, humor, and love he brought into our lives. His memory will forever be imprinted in our hearts, and his legacy will live on through the lives he touched. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice, in honor of Kegan's generous spirit and his desire to make the world a better place.
