Albert Bridge, 86
It is with profound grief and sadness that the family announce the peaceful passing of Nathen Reginald Kennedy on Saturday, May 2, 2020 at home in Albert Bridge with his loving family at his side.
Born in Humber Mouth, Newfoundland, Nathan was the son of the late Clarence and Rachel (Yetman) Kennedy of Harbour Grace Newfoundland.
Nathen worked for 43 years at National Sea Products in Louisbourg and then for nine years as manager of Louisbourg Seafoods.
Nathen was a kind and gentle man with a love of family and fishing. He had a way of making everyone feel special.
Nathen is survived by his loving partner of 31 years, Sharon Magee and her family; his children, Cathy (the late Fran) Mailman, Main-A-Dieu, Jim (Lori), Albert Bridge, with whom he resided for the past 5 years, Ronnie (Debbie), Catalone, Allen (Darlene), Louisbourg, Derrick (Lisa), Little Lorraine; 15 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; his loving sister, Isabel Kennedy; the mother of his children, Laura; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, Nathan was predeceased by his brothers, Bramwell, Clarence, Tom, Max, Raymond, Andrew, Rendall and a sister, Janie.
Special thanks to the ladies from County Homemakers and all his care givers. A very heartfelt thanks to Dr. Arlene Kelly Wiggins for her wonderful care of Dad.
Cremation has taken place. Given the circumstances, a funeral will follow at a later date.

To all the family we were to sorry to hear of the loss of your father sending our condolences to the Kennedy family. Helen and Nick Parpoulas.
Words cannot express the depth of my condolences to the family and extended family of Nathan.
Many mornings we spent at the brook, and many an afternoon at North River. The more time spent with Nathan, the more you could relate to his simplicity, and learn to love his ways.
Nathan was a teacher in many ways, and it’s so easy to find only good words to describe him, a kind and gentle man who will never be forgotten.
God bless you Nathan.

I was so very sorry to hear of Nathan’s passing . I have very fond memories of him when he was my boss at National Sea but even outside of work he was always smiling and always such a gentleman and a pleasure to be around . I always had nothing but respect for him and especially for when he helped save lives when that car went through the ice , he was a true hero !
He certainly has earned his wings and I know he went straight to Heaven and that he is Resting In Peace . May God be with you all at this most difficult time and give you the strength to get through this . Sending hugs and Condolences, Diane ❤️
