KENNEDY, ROGER, SR.
August 18, 1949~ June 17, 2010

Roger Dale Kennedy Sr., 60, of Dayton, was born in Ville Platte to Josie Olivia 
(Hebert) and James Taylor Kennedy on August 18, 1949. He died at his home 
unexpectedly on Thursday, June 17, 2010.

Roger was a man who loved to hunt and fish. If he couldn't be outdoors hunting 
or fishing he would watch television programs related to either of those two 
topics, or cooking shows. Besides Cajun food, he really enjoyed listening to 
Cajun music. He was enthralled with guns, but especially rifles. Before his 
health caused him to have to retire, Roger was an industrial construction worker 
for Brown and Root for 40 years. "Papa Roger" would melt when granddaughter, 
Aubrey was in his sights.

He will be missed by the neighbors, especially the family of Gary and Doris 
Arnold who were like family to him, and all others who loved him.

Preceding him in death were his parents, J. T. and Josie Kennedy; son, Roger 
Dale Kennedy Jr.; and brother, Herman Kennedy.

Left behind to cherish his memory are his sons, James Kennedy and wife, Wendy, 
of Garyville, Louisiana and Brad Kennedy and wife, Samantha, of McKinney, Texas; 
grandchildren, Aubrey Kennedy of McKinney, Texas, Mitchell, Daniel and Ashley 
Lemoine, all of Luling; great-grandchildren, Cameron and Cole Lemoine, also of 
Luling; sisters, Betty Diamond and husband, Harold, of Lafayette and Janet 
Thibodeaux and husband, Johnny, of Searcy, Arkansas; and numerous nieces and 
nephews.

Memorial services for Roger will be held Saturday, July 3, 2010 at the Church of 
Christ in Franklin, at 12 p.m. The church address is: 604 Sycamore St.

Final arrangements for him have been entrusted to Allison Funeral Service, 1101 
N. Travis, Liberty, Texas 77575
