Craig Kennedy Obituary

Craig M. Kennedy
Born: November 23, 1950
Died: December 31, 2024
Craig M. Kennedy, 73, of Pleasant Prairie, WI, passed away on December 31, 2024. He was born on November 23, 1951, in Elmhurst, IL. Craig was a loving partner, proud father and grandfather. He is survived by his loving partner of over 16 years, Joya Zamora, his two children, Zac Kennedy (Kristi) and Shannon Kennedy, as well as his three grandchildren, Camden, Palmer, and Collins Kennedy. He was a caring brother to Joanie (Carpenter) Glasser, Linda (Kennedy), Wilkinson, Sherry Carpenter, and Jerry (Rhonda) Carpenter. Craig was preceded in death by his younger brother, Mark Kennedy, and sister, Denise Carpenter.
A proud graduate of York High School, Class of 1969, Craig's early years set the stage for a lifetime of hard work, dedication, and success. He spent 18 years at AT&T, where he honed his expertise in the telecommunications industry. Craig then took a bold step into entrepreneurship, founding All Ways Communication, a business he ran with great success for over 20 years. All Ways Communications ultimately became part of Terrence Electric, where Craig went on to work with continued success until his well-earned retirement.
In his early adult years, Craig was an avid sports enthusiast and a regular on the softball field, playing for Spring Inn. His love for sports remained a constant throughout his life with a particular passion for the Chicago Cubs. Later in Life, Craig spent his days trading in the stock market and vacationing. His ability to balance ambition with appreciation for the good things in life was one of his defining qualities.
His allegiance to his partner, dedication to his work, and love of sports, will be remembered by all who had the privilege of calling him a friend, father, or partner.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Craig's memory to the Little Leaguers of Kenosha or a charity of your choice.
Craig will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
