Jerome Frank "Jerry" Kennedy

March 18, 1954 - November 27, 2024

OREGON - Jerome Frank "Jerry" Kennedy, age 70, of Oregon, passed away on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at Randolph Health Services. He was born on March 18, 1954, in Madison, Wis., the son of Gerald and Delores Kennedy.

Jerry graduated from West High School and went on to MATC to earn his degree in Culinary Arts. He was the chef at Oakwood East for many years. He was known as a great cook, but also enjoyed some traveling and going to casinos. Jerry was a huge advocate of AA, as he himself had been sober for 38 years. He was also very religious, was a scholar of the Bible, and a past member of Mad City Church. Jerry loved spending time with his dog, Fudgey, and was an avid Packers fan.

Jerry is survived by his former wife, Sandra Kennedy. He was preceded in death by his former wife, Barbara Kennedy; and his parents.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.
