Mr. David Robert Kennedy

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of David Robert Kennedy, a man whose absence will leave an irreplaceable void in our hearts. David was born on January 27, 1941, and transitioned out of this life on September 15, 2025. Through his journey of 84 years, he touched many lives with his wisdom, generosity, English wit and sarcasm. David was a true entrepreneur who founded the Kennedy Company from the ground up. His unwavering dedication to making the company a success was evident in his resourcefulness; he made ends meet by leveraging his other talent as a bass guitarist in his local band. Among the many milestones of David's life, one of the most notable was his role with NASA as a Sound and Vibration Engineer on the Saturn V project. Visitors to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville can find his name proudly displayed on the computer manifest. This remarkable achievement is just one example of how David inspired others by overcoming challenges with unwavering fortitude. David is survived by his devoted wife of 34 years, Patricia Kennedy. He leaves behind his cherished children, Sarah Kennedy Precise (Kenneth) and Stuart Kennedy, as well as his adored granddaughters, Khloe and Kadence, and great-granddaughters, Vada Dru and Miley. Sadly, David was preceded in death by his beloved son, Scott Kennedy. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and all who mourn David's passing. A memorial service celebrating David's exceptional life will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Saint Luke's Episcopal Church. We invite all who knew and loved David to join us in honoring his memory. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to honor David's memory by making donations to Hytop Fire and Rescue, a cause that was dear to his heart. We believe this would be a fitting tribute to his extraordinary life. Arrangements Entrusted to Scottsboro Funeral Home
