Honoring Kennedy Michael Kemp

Ryan and Olivia delivered a long-awaited beautiful baby girl, Kennedy Michael Kemp, on January 7th at 1:17 pm. Though a month early, she was 6 lbs 15 oz, 20 inches, and had a head full of strawberry blonde hair. Every feature was completely perfect; she had Olivia’s mouth and Ryan’s nose. Despite the doctors' valiant efforts, there was an extremely rare complication resulting in an emergency c-section. After 8 hours in the NICU, baby girl went to be with Jesus at 9:45 pm. Ryan and Olivia treasure every second they got to spend with Kennedy and she will be with us always.

To honor the memory of Kennedy, Ryan and Olivia are in the early stages of establishing the Kennedy Kemp Foundation. The mission is to assist families who are facing infant loss or infertility, both of which they have now experienced. In these times of crisis, their hope is that no parent would have to make decisions based on finances.

Many of you have asked how to help, and donating seed money towards this would be a meaningful way to honor Kennedy and support their vision.

Thank you for all the ways you have already shown support. They have felt your prayers, love, and words of encouragement during this unfathomable time.
