Thomas “Tommy” Karney passed away peacefully on February 5, 2019 at the age of 70. Beloved husband of Cynthia Audino Karney. Father of Jason Karney, the late Heather Dull and Justin Karney.

Son of the late Thomas Karney Jr. and Ouita Miller Karney. Also survived by other loving relatives and friends.

Tommy served his country in the U.S. Navy, spending time aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise (CVAN-65). He was a “jack of all trades and master of none”. Tommy was very talented with his hands, working in everything from construction to small engine repair. He was an avid pool player and never missed a chance to cheer on the Saints. His talents in the kitchen had him known for his pralines and chili. Tommy enjoyed writing poetry and had a wonderful singing voice and would serenade his beloved Cynthia with his rendition of “Little Egypt”.
