Michael Kennedy Obituary

Mr. Michael Anthony Kennedy was born into this world on the 29th day of December 1976, to Elizabeth Kennedy and James Kennedy. He carried God in his heart all throughout life until his untimely demise. He attended Deshler High School. He later obtained his GED in 1998 from NWSCC. Mike was a star athlete for Deshler High and will historically be known as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He was truly adored by all who encountered him, to know him was to love him. He dedicated countless hours to The City of Tuscumbia's Youth and Willie Green Football Community, inspiring them to reach their highest potential. Coach Kennedy was their leader, teacher, coach and Dad. Mike was a helping hand and blessing to his family, friends, and even to those he barely knew. He was someone you could count on in the time of need. He LOVED his children dearly and made sure they were provided for. He will forever be remembered for his loving heart, fresh style, and sense of humor. Mike will TRULY be missed by all who knew him. #HOLLA Michael was preceded in death by his grandparents, John and Roberta Kennedy, Ruby Smith and James Allen; niece, Angel Kennedy; and nephew, Edward Demond Kennedy, Jr. Michael Anthony leaves to carry on his memories: His Mother and Best Friend, Elizabeth Kennedy; his Loving and Devoted Father, James Kennedy; his Precious Children, Ashlee Kennedy, Braylon Kennedy, Jerzey Phillips, and Michael Kennedy, Jr.; his Loving Brothers, Edward Kennedy, Sr., Christopher Kennedy, Quincy Kennedy, and Cecil Kennedy; his Loving Sisters, Leslie Smith, Brianna Turner, and Roshonda Kennedy; his Aunts, Glenda Williams, Jaqueline Qualls, Rhonda Smith, Elizabeth Frierson, and Ruby Nixon; his Uncles, Leroy Kennedy, Thomas Kennedy, Cecil (Minnie) Smith, and Darryl Smith; one Great Uncle, Tyrone Qualls; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
