It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Graham William Kennedy of Kamloops, BC on January 19, 2016 at the age of 90.
He is survived by his loving daughter Kandace Kennedy, her partner Antony Milobar, and grandchildren: Cortnal and Brayden Kennedy and other grandson Deon Gibson. He is also predeceased by his loving grandson Korbyn Graham Kennedy-Gibson.
In addition he is remembered by Kandace’s siblings: Frankie, Dawn, Arlan, Rick (predeceased), Brian, Kim (predeceased), and Tami, and predeceased by their mother Elvina Studer.

Graham was the son of George and Mary Kennedy of Kenora, Ontario and the last surviving sibling of his 2 brothers: Alec and George, and 4 sisters: Bessie, Stella, Maimie, and Peggy.
He had numerous other relatives and friends that contributed to his life, including his niece Edwina and husband Pete.
My dad had a special place in his heart for Marlyn , who he took in and cared for her for 25 yrs until her passing.
Graham prided himself with being fit and spent 25 years working as a custodian at Royal Inland Hospital then finishing his day by jogging home to Brocklehurst. He was a private man who had a hard exterior but a soft heart for vulnerable people and animals. He served his country in the Navy during WW2. He carried the discipline he learned there throughout his life. He had a passion for boxing and he was astute judge of character. He lived his life his own way , always a fighter, and he left this world the same way. He will be missed.

Special thanks to Dr.Bishop and Dr. Marino and the lovely nurses on 7 north for their caring, compassionate care of my dad. We would also like to thank his home health team, especially Navy Sahota, his Nurse Deidre and support worker Jordie, whom my dad held in high regard. In addition a special thank you to Iain for all you did for my dad.

We are holding a tea on Saturday, January 30 from 1:00 -4:00pm at my dad’s home 2316 Greenfield Ave, please feel to come by during this time.
