""Those who live no more, whom we loved, echo still within our thoughts, our words and our hearts. Daniel (Danny) John Kennedy passed away suddenly the morning of June 02 at his home in Skead. Beloved husband of Madeleine Albert of Skead. Loving father of Codi (Sarah) of Azilda and Chadwell predeceased. Cherished grandfather of Malleck and Brooklyn. Dear son of Wilbert (predeceased) and Theresa Kennedy of Sudbury. Dear brother of Wayne (predeceased), Vanessa Kennedy (Ken Gervais) of Lively and Carolyn Kennedy (Ken Goudreau) of Chelmsford. Remembered by his nieces and nephews Jordan, Darcy, Marisa (predeceased), Taylor-Jean and Samantha. Dan was born Sept 07, 1959 in Sudbury, he was raised in Skead by a large loving family. He attended St John Catholic School and later Garson- Falconbridge Secondary School. He started his career with CN rail where he attained his heavy-duty mechanic licence and worked for 18 years. After a few employment changes he settled in with Greg MacDonald Equipment where he had planned to retire. On December 28, 1985 and January 26, 1990, he welcomed his two sons which remained the light of his life. Dan took much pride and joy spending time with his family and friends, camping, boating and building contraptions. He was also a problem solver. A MacGyver of sorts, often taking on the hardest of tasks at home and at work that provided a challenge to his skill and wits. He was always offering his assistance and advise to any one who needed it. He had that special ability to see outside the box. Dan will be remembered for his contagious smile and laugh, his sense of humor, his big heart, his generosity and kind soul. His family and friends will always carry memories of him in their hearts.
