Erica Kennedy Obituary
Police confirmed Monday that Kennedy, whose full name was Erica Kennedy Johnson, was found dead last week. No cause of death was immediately reported.
Sarah Robinson, known to family and friends as Aunt Porgy, released a statement over the weekend.
Robinson, who is Kennedy's aunt, said, "We are devastated by this loss. Erica was bright, funny, talented, thoughtful, and passionate."
Throughout her career, Kennedy worked as a fashion publicist, journalist, blogger, brand consultant and social media connector. She also wrote two novels, "Bling" and "Feminista."

Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your dear love one. “And no resident will say: I am sick…” Isa 33:24. This is a promise God has made known in his word. Perhaps one day in the in the divine future you or I may see again those fallen from our lives due to a sickness or illness that led to an untimely death. Prayers go out to the surviving family and friends may the God of comfort continue to bless you and yours.

I found my way to you through the ever evolving social network via the internet. Albeit, too late to tell you how proud I was of your accomplishments as an adult. I used to baby sit you and Kirky when I was in college. I am deeply saddened by your transition and my sincerest condolences go out to Mary, Kirk and the rest of your family.
