Edward Kenney Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 11, 2017.

Edward James Kenney, spent 73 years providing love, affection, laughter, knowledge, and a bit of spontaneity to those privileged enough to be in his presence.

Ed, known by those close to him, served 22 years in the Navy with honor and distinction. Trained in communication, he was part of the Navy's Special Warfare Craft Crewmen and attached to Seal Team 2. He was awarded three campaign stars for tours of duty in Vietnam. Through the crucible of combat and life experiences he acquired the unshakable traits of love, honor, and duty and imparted those same qualities to all he cherished.

Edwards' unwavering love for his family ensured we each felt loved, appreciated, and protected.

You will be missed!

God, Country, and Fast Boats.
