It is with profound sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Nelson Kennedy on January 21st, 2025. Nelson lovingly built both his family and career in Edmonton. He loved his pets, cars, & the joy of entertaining at his Edmonton River Valley home, the ‘Perfect Perch’ on Salt Spring Island or the bay view condo in Vancouver. Above all else, he adored his wife, May, and his children: Patrick Kennedy (Amanda), Anne Hagel (Clay), Kate Kennedy (Pierre), Dale Hennessey (Alex) and his five loving grandchildren: Sam and Lena Hagel, Noah and Sydney Lefebvre, and Brogan Pilgaard-Kennedy.
A celebration of life will be scheduled in early summer.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the St. Paul’s Palliative Care Unit in Vancouver.
