With deep sorrow we are informing the brotherhood of the passing of PJ SMSgt Craig Kennedy.

Craig was a warrior, leader, friend and a PJ! Most importantly, he was a loving husband, father and grandfather. The mold was broken after men like Craig were made.

Craig joined the Air Force in 1978 as an aircraft maintainer at Travis AFB. He joined Pararescue in 1983 and was stationed at Homestead AFB and Patrick AFB. Craig deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Craig was also involved in various space shuttle missions around the globe.

Craig continued to live his life by “That others may live”.

Til Valhalla, brother!!

Craig is survived by his wife, Joanne; his daughter, Jacquelin; his son, Colin; and six grandchildren, Kennedy, Serafina, Finnian, Callie, Connor, and Evangelina.

Craig will be forever missed by all that knew him.
