Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

We are heartbroken to share the devastating news of the passing of Aidan Kennedy — a beloved son, grandson, and friend who left us far too soon. Aidan’s unexpected passing has left a deep void in our hearts and an overwhelming amount of responsibility on his loving grandmother, Shannon Kennedy. Aidan Kennedy was a bright, energetic 10-year-old boy who was deeply loved and will be missed beyond words. Aidan brought joy to everyone who knew him. He was adventurous, full of life, and had a heart as big as the sky.

Aidan lived with his father and together they loved exploring nature, going on adventures, and fishing. Aidan loved bonding with animals, he had a natural curiosity about the world and an incredible ability to make people smile. Whether it was climbing trees, spotting bugs, or simply running through the grass with a big grin, Aidan lived each day with joy and wonder. His warmth and kindness touched everyone around him.

Now, his beloved grandmother, Shannon Kennedy, is carrying the responsibility of arranging his burial and memorial services, with limited means. Shannon lives out of state but has stepped in during this tragic time to take care of every detail and honor Aidan’s life with the love and dignity he deserves.

We are reaching out to ask for your support as Shannon navigates this emotional and financial challenge. Donations will go directly toward:

• Burial and memorial expenses for Aidan

• Travel and temporary relocation costs for Shannon

• Living expenses while she manages arrangements and grieves this heartbreaking loss

Your generosity will help ease the financial stress so Shannon can focus on what matters most — honoring Aidan’s memory and healing in the midst of grief. Every contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with the Kennedy family during this time of unimaginable loss.

With love and gratitude,

Tammy and Ron Priest and the Kennedy Family
