Kevin Kennard

Kevin Kennard (age 66), originally of Newark, DE, died in his home in Drexel Hill, PA on Monday, August 3, 2015.

He was a graduate of Newark High School (class of '67) and the University of Delaware (class of '81).

Kevin served in the United States Marines from 1968-1972. He spent 14 months serving overseas, including 5 months in Vietnam. He received a Combat Action Ribbon and was honorably discharged from the service with the rank of Sergeant.

In his younger years Kevin enjoyed making models and skiing. Throughout his life he was an avid reader and could tell you the name of a book just based on a description of the cover.

Kevin was preceded in death by his Father, Roger Kennard, and his mother, Geraldine (Wright) Kennard. He is survived by his daughters, Kaitlin and Megan Kennard, his grandson, David Hayman, and his siblings Charles Kennard, Mike Kennard, and Mary Ann Kennard MacDonald.

Kevin is remembered for his unique sense of humor and his fierce love for his daughters and grandson. He is dearly missed.

A memorial service will be held in his honor on Saturday, August 29th at 2pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Delaware County.
