I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was a GM at the kfc store I worked at. He was a special guy. I remember going to a couple baseball games with him and Andrew. Mike loved watching Angels games. We talked about baseball almost everyday during baseball season.Mike was one of my good friends like a brother to me. He will truly be missed.

I worked with Mike at KFC - I was a teenager and he was the father figure I didn't know I needed. Every day was fun, my life got better, and he created a safe space at that silly fast food restaurant for all of us. He's someone that I think about frequently, someone that I have never and will never forget. I am so sorry to the Kennedy family for this huge loss. Just know that he is always, and will always be with you. ❤️

How can I find the words? Michael was one of the truly good guys in this world. Kind, thoughtful and generous. He was courageous in his fight with cancer. He was a wonderful husband for my daughter and a wonderful father for my grandson. His memory will never fade in our minds.
