Michael Kennedy Obituary

Michael H. Kennedy, Jr.

August 9, 1969 - March 30, 2025

Michael H. Kennedy Jr., 55, of Somers Point, NJ, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 30th, 2025, at Shore Medical Center. He lived most of his life in Somers Point and graduated from Mainland Regional High School. He was a member of the Electrician's Union Local 351 IBEW and was a member of the Somers Point Fire Department #1 since 1988. One of his greatest joys was helping people and serving his community. Mike used to say there are two types of people in this world, the kind that run into a fire and the kind that run out. He was a "Run In" kind of guy. He never turned away anyone in need of help. His favorite past time was camping in Port Republic with a cold beer in his hand and his cat, Spunk by his side.

Mike is predeceased by his father, Michael H. Kennedy, Sr. and his half-brother, James Gracco. He is survived by his mother, Elizabeth 'Betty' Kennedy; his children, Christina Robinson (Michael) and Michael H. Kennedy, III (Meaghan); his grandsons, Vincenzo and Giovanni Robinson; his sister and brother, Kathy Weiss (Jon) and Brian Kennedy (Tina); his nieces and nephew, Tori, and Jake Weiss and Alexandra Kennedy; and his aunt, Patricia Hayes (Tom Goodman).

Mike will be missed for his sense of humor, sarcasm and his ability to always find humor in any situation.

Visitation will be 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 6, 2025 at Parsels Funeral Home. 324 New Jersey Ave. Absecon NJ. A service will follow at 1PM. For online condolences, please visit www.parselsfh.com.
