★★★ Memorial Monday ★★★
Brian Kennedy '07 was lost on January 14, 2016 when the helicopter he was aboard collided with another and crashed off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii. Eleven other Marines were also killed.
A native of Malvern, Pennsylvania, his Lucky Bag entry read:
"Intensity" being his middle name, Brian never did anything half-heartedly. He once passed out in the p-way from shouting too loud for the human body to handle. Fueled by Charlie Limas and his passion for all things Marine Corps, Brian stormed through the academy like one of the stockiest, slowest tanks in the U.S. arsenal. With his uncanny ability to find happiness in the darkest of times, and extreme anger in the brightest, there was never a dull moment with this strong-browed Philadelphia native. Brian kept his friends on their toes with a relentless onslaught of senseless jokes and unwelcome sound effects. Brian was a proud member of the legendary Dirty Thirty Class of '07, and as such shared some good times with good dudes. He is truly one of the finest human beings alive. We know you're gonna do the Boys proud BK, just don't push anybody down the stairs.
Brian was survived by his wife of 11 months, Major Paige Stull Kennedy, USMC; his parents; and his younger sister, Caitlin.
To Honor! ⚓
