Harley Robert Kennedy

Robert Kennedy, known to friends as “Bob”, 62, Marietta, Georgia, went to be with his Lord on Christmas Day, December 25, 2018.

Bob, originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina was the son of the late Harold and Margaret Kennedy. He received his BS in Accounting from The University of South Carolina, and his MBA from Winthrop University. Bob attended Piedmont Community Church. As a Business Executive he served as a Partner for PricewaterhouseCoopers from 1984 to 2002, then as Partner for IBM from 2002 to 2009. In 1999, he founded and served as President for RK Management Company, a real estate investment and services company. In mid-2009 he chose to pursue his entrepreneurial dream and founded RKMC Management Consultants where he served as a Partner. His desire was to assist others in their dreams of business ownership and improved quality of life. As a result, he formed NextGen Ventures Inc. in 2017 and served as the company’s CEO. Bob will always be known for his kind and compassionate spirit, his generosity, and his love for his family.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Becky (Hudson) Kennedy, their two sons, Matt and Phillip, daughter-in-law Anna (Hairston) Kennedy, grandchildren Harper and Brooks, his brother Curt,(Janet Habiger) Kennedy and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Family, friends, and anyone whose lives Bob touched, are invited to a 10am service with reception following at H.M. Patterson and Sons, 1157 Old Canton Rd, Marietta, GA 30068 on Saturday, January 5th 2019, to reminisce, support each other, and celebrate the life of a great man.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Must Ministries or The Museum of the Bible in Bob’s name.
