I worked a kidnapping case about 20 years ago with Maj. Kennedy, which turn out to be nothing. He was very helpful and a fine officer. My prayers and thoughts go out his family and fellow officers of the Boone Police Dept. I know he will be missed.

To the family & friends of Major Kennedy,
So sorry to hear about your loss. I pray that God will give you comfort, strength & the courage you will need to make it through this tragedy. When those around you offer to help, let them. Sometimes you need help when you don't even realize it. Nothing will make this easier for you, you just have to pull together and take one day at a time. Some days you will feel like you can't go on, but keep pushing forward.....your loved one would want you to. Just remember there are many people who care and will have you in their hearts and prayers; especially those of us who have lost other officers.
God bless you & keep you safe,
Denise

I am saddened by the loss of the three officers in the plane crash. I work the marijuana eradication program with my department and fly in helicopters for the spotting. Therefore this tragedy hit me close to home. In addition I lost a sister officer and best friend; Officer Kristin Pataki, on May 04, 2002 to a car accident while she was responding to backup a fellow officer.
There are no words to express the pain that is felt by all whenever a fellow officer is lost.
My heart goes out to all family, friends and co-workers in your time of great loss. Have faith that your loved one is in a better place with my friend and every other fallen officer and they all are on watch over us.

Major Kennedy,

I want to thank you for your sacrifice made while trying your best to keep more drugs off the street. I would also like to offer my condolences to your family, friends and LEO family you left behind. You will not be forgotten.

My father was born and raised in Bryson City, so I have spent a lot of time in this beautiful part of the country. Thank you again for keeping it safe for others.
