Brian Stephen Kennedy

BRIAN STEPHEN KENNEDY, 50, passed away suddenly Friday, August 10, 2007. Brian was the beloved son of Jutta Karin and Andrew E. Kennedy. Brian, a native Houstonian, graduated from Milby High School in 1975. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy, serving on board the U.S.S. Nimitz. Brian worked in restaurant management for many years and was, more recently, self-employed as a mechanic. Brian's charm, kindness and wonderful sense of humor will be missed by us all. His greatest joy in life was to bring a smile to someone's face or to lend a helping hand whenever he could. He loved animals and his German Shepherd, Senta, will sorely miss him.
