Alfred "Al" Richard Koenenn

Alfred "Al" Richard Koenenn, age 82, of Long Beach, passed away on August 8, 2026.

Al was a loving, hardworking, and generous husband, father, brother, grandfather, uncle, and friend. A lifelong native of the Mississippi coast, an active member of the community, and devoted parishioner of St. Thomas Catholic Church. He was the only son of Mae and L.A. Koenenn and a cherished brother to his three sisters, whom he loved deeply. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Southern Mississippi and later obtained his law degree from Loyola University New Orleans. It was there he met his beloved wife of 59 years. For over 50 years, he built a successful career as an attorney, practicing in both Louisiana and Mississippi.

Outside of his profession, Al found great joy in the outdoors. He was a proud fisherman, an avid duck hunter, and enjoyed spending time woodworking in his shop. When he wasn’t working, hunting, or fishing, he could often be found on the golf course. He was rarely without his pouch of Red Man and a glass of scotch on the rocks, preferably prepared by his wife or one of his grandchildren. In recent years, some of his happiest moments were spent in his recliner watching Saints games with a bowl of vanilla ice cream, both of which he shared with his loyal dog, Pollo.

Above all else, Al’s greatest joy was his family. He was an endearingly stubborn man, but one who without a doubt loved his family with abundance. He went out of his way to create joy for his grandchildren; no one could make them laugh quite like he did. The joy he brought into their lives, and the memories he created with them, will be cherished forever.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Mae Koenenn; his father, L.A. Koenenn; his daughter-in-law, Stacey Koenenn; and his brother-in-law, Arve Henriksen. He is survived by his wife, Judith Koenenn; his sisters, Anne Meek (Tom), Margaret Papaleo (Dennis), and Emily Henriksen; his sons, Alfred Richard Koenenn Jr., Jason Koenenn (Renee), and Stephen Koenenn (Rebecca); and his grandchildren, Chase Elsworth, Katie Manasco (Drew), Mary Elise Koenenn, Bracey Koenenn, Emily Cade Koenenn, and Reed Koenenn, and countless additional family members and friends.
