David A. Kennedy

Biography

David A. Kennedy, born in 1955, quietly embraced a life of reflection and service even as he carried the weight of his family’s public profile. He cherished literature, music, and the time spent traveling with friends, always listening carefully to the concerns of young people and those on the margins.

He gave his time to charitable programs that emphasized education and health, offering steady support to groups dedicated to keeping inner-city youth inspired; his final resting place at Holyhood Cemetery stands as a quiet testament to the gentleness he offered to others.
