Brett Alvah Kennedy

Brett Alvah Kennedy, 72, passed away peacefully at his residence on November 1, 2024, under the care of Community Hospice. 

He was born in Reidsville, Georgia on October 5, 1952, to JC Kennedy Jr. and Dana Williams Kennedy and lived here all of his life. 

He was a well-respected individual who dedicated 28 years of his life to serving as a Ranger with the Georgia Forestry, where his deep love for nature and the outdoors found an expression that positively impacted many lives.

A 1970 graduate of Reidsville High School, Brett carried the values instilled in him during his formative years throughout his life. He embraced the beauty of the natural world and was often found indulging in his favorite pastimes, which included hunting, fishing, and racing motorcycles.

Brett was more than just a career person; he was an avid outdoorsman and a dedicated cattleman, balancing a life of hard work with his love for adventure. Whether navigating the woods, caring for his cattle, or enjoying the thrill of a race, Brett lived life to the fullest.

He is preceded in death by his parents and wife, Sylvia Smith Kennedy.
