This site is a tribute to Jay Kennedy.  Jay was brought up on our family farm surrounded by love and laughter, our precious son and an adored brother. Brothers so close I can honestly barely remember them ever falling out. They had great fun growing up together, the same sense of humour and a very special bond.

Jay was always fit and healthy rarely ever ill. Smart and competitive, he loved his academic school days and he achieved so much. Sport was well up there too both playing and supporting he was passionate about football, basketball, NFL and F1.  It turned out he was an excellent poker player too which surprised us all and would end up being a big part of his story!

Jay had great friends in his life he loved them dearly they were a huge part of him and who he was. He was funny, witty and loved the “banter” with his mates and brother.  He was also was very happy to be quiet and in his own company, (with Jay still waters ran deep) there was 2 sides to Jay.  He was a thinker and much wiser than his years from early on I always had a feeling he would do something different with his life, I could never have imagined what that would actually be.

His attitude faced with his mortality when diagnosed with brain cancer at age 18 was humbling, his focus always on what he could affect rather than worry about what he couldn’t.  He endured so much in the 18 months that followed always knowing his condition was incurable but never moaned or wanted pitied he was so unbelievably courageous.

Jays main concern was for us and his friends and the grief he knew we’d inevitably face, leaving us a journal and the message of a life he’d loved and wouldn’t swap for anyone elses. To him he’d been dealt his hand and he played it the best he could with every ounce of resilience and hope he had.  Of course he desperatley wanted to live longer but this was HIS life, he was grateful to have been Jay Kennedy and all the love he had known, the childhood, family and friends he had had, he wrote his journal to let us know that. Jay will always be our greatest teacher. 

“But what is grief if not love persevering” a quote he hoped we would take comfort in.

No words can express how deeply loved and missed Jay is, we carry on with him, for him, it is Our NeverEnding Story.  Forever and ever ours, we hold on to Jays courage and his energy and hope when we see him again he will say "you made me proud” 💚♠️

“You cant destroy energy it just changes form”✨
