Matthew Kennedy Obituary

I recently thought about our time together at TCSO. I remember being at your basic SWAT graduation and giving you your first SWAT emblem for your uniform. Rest easy my brother, we stand the watch now.

Matt you will never be forgotten I have fond memories of "The Matt's" from Brinley Middle School. Matt Kennedy and Matt Boucher. Life was so much simpler then... My hope is Matt is at peace now and he knows just how many people loved him.

To all those who are remembering Matt's untimely death and to the Kennedy, Beas, and Bertuccini families let this tragity draw us nearer to the Lord Jesus Christ and to one another.
Matthew 11:25-30
25 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and ?revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 ?All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son ?except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 Come to ?me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and ?learn from me, for I am ?gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Love & Prayers for the Kennedy family! Matthew will be missed by all, rest in peace sweet soul!
Love, Matthew and Sarah Boucher

We are mourning with you, and there are no adequate words. We dearly loved Matt. We appreciated his sensitive spirit, enjoyed his silly sense of humor, and always welcomed his hugs! He was very dedicated to his family, and a very hardworking law enforcement officer. He will be so deeply missed, and we look forward with all our hearts to the day when we will all be reunited in boundless joy in the presence of our Lord Jesus! We love you guys and are here for you. We hurt with you, but we have hope and faith for what Father God will do to strengthen you. May the Lord hold you in His everlasting arms and give you peace and comfort moment by moment!

Dear Mattie ~ Life is so precious, I thought you knew! Just know I love you and I will always remember your heart-warming smile. I will always remember how proud you were of Tautiana and how you would carry Noah on your shoulders! I wish you could see what a blessing you were to so many and just how many blessings you had. I wish a lot of things, but now my wish is for peace, love, & happiness for your amazing fun-loving children & beautiful-amazing wife, your Mommy, & your sister!

For a second you were flying
Like you always wanted to
Now you'll fly forever
In skies of azure blue
We'll see your smile in every ray
Of sunshine after rain
And hear the echo of your laughter
Over all the pain
The world's a little quieter now
The colours have lost their hue
The birds are singing softly
And our hearts are missing you
Each time we see a little cloud
Or a rainbow soaring high
We'll think of you and gently
Wipe a tear from our eye

Matt you were loved by so many , I know your legacy will live on ithrough your children may god be with them , your wife and family and all those who mourn .... Kenny and I love you!

Life is but a mist in the morning sun.Like the lilies of the field,it to soon passes away.But true life consists not in possessions,but in what we leave behind.Children and memories never pass away.The memories we leave nourish the ground,even as our vessels of clay return to dust.But our children,our seedcontinue in life.Our God will raise us up again,and we will rejoice with our loved ones again.

RIP Matt we will miss you.
