Teddy Joe Kennedy, 74, of King William, Virginia, passed away peacefully on February 15, 2026.

Teddy was a devoted husband, loyal friend, and a man whose warmth and humor left a lasting impression on all who knew him. He is survived by his beloved wife, Kimberly Kennedy, with whom he shared 23 wonderful years of marriage; his daughters, Jennifer Kennedy and Gina Kennedy; his sister, Judy Blilak (Ed); his step-sisters, Carol Knight and Brenda Crouch; his nephew, Daniel Shelton; his stepdaughter, Robin Wilcox (Jake); his stepson, Brian Borkey (Amy); and his faithful companion, Milly. He is also lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Lanaya, Chris, Gunner, Cannon, and Haleya.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Anna Kennedy-Pearell; his father, Noah Dudley; his sisters, Linda Shelton and Faye Shore; and his brother-in-law, Oscar Shelton.

 

 

Throughout his life, Teddy built a strong work ethic and took pride in his career, working with NAPA Auto Parts, Lexus of Richmond, and Bareford Buick. Beyond his work, he found joy in life’s simple pleasures — cheering on NASCAR, casting a fishing line, and spending time at the beach. He will be remembered most for his quick wit, infectious sense of humor, and genuinely loving spirit.

 

 

Teddy was cremated by Richmond Coach and Cremation. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society in his memory.

 

 

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
