Dean Allen Kennedy, 58, of Hixson, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on November 5, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.

Dean was a devoted husband, father, and proud Papa. Dean's greatest joy was his family. He is survived by his loving wife, Jamie Kennedy; his daughter, Krista Cothron, (Matt) his son, Jared Bice; his grandchildren, Josh, Kaylee, and Kennedy Cothron, who were all the light of his life. He is also survived by his father, Norman Kennedy, (Pamela) and sister Sandi Vaughn Daniel). Sister n law Jennifer Kelsey. Nieces Amber Vaughn, Jackie Fann (Cody), and Elizabeth Kelsey. Great nieces Chloe Fann and Tessa Carr, and great nephew Zachariah Fann.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Marie Kennedy.

Dean's passion for life was matched only by his love of sports-especially cheering for his beloved Chicago Cubs and Tennessee Titans. Whether watching a game, sharing a laugh, or spending time with family, Dean's warmth and humor made every moment brighter. You could always find him talking sports to just about anyone.

To those who knew him, Dean was steady, kind, and full of heart. His love was felt deeply and will continue to live on through the memories and laughter he leaves behind.

He will be missed beyond words and remembered with endless love.

Visitation will be held Tuesday, November 11th, 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Williamson & Sons Funeral Home. The service will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 12th with Pastor Scott Chastain officiating. The burial will immediately follow at Hamilton County Memorial Park.
