As Director of Engineering for KNDO/KNDU-TV, Mark Kennedy touched many lives. He died after Christmas Mass at the age of 58.
Mark worked in television broadcasting for 35+ years, holding a number of positions at television stations in Spokane. For the past sixteen years, he has worked for KNDO/ KNDU-TV in Yakima and the Tri-Cities, where he became Director of Engineering. He was an enthusiastic engineer; a dedicated problem solver who approached the tough moments in life calmly, analytically, and with a wry sense of humor.
Paul Dughi, former General Manager at KNDO/KNDU, and Patricia McRae, President of KHQ, Inc. have set up this fund as a way to honor Mark. We encourage you to join us in making the Mark Kennedy Scholarship Fund a reality.
The Mark Kennedy Scholarship Fund will provide funding for Broadcast Engineers throughout the state of Washington for continuing education.
Outside of work, Mark had a passion for music, and was a very involved member of his parish. He was in the Yakima Valley Community Band for the past three years and was a member of the Knights of Columbus. For the past 16 years, he was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church where he sang in the choir.
In a church choir more than three decades ago, Mark met Debra Ann Replogle. They married in Spokane on June 20, 1981 and built a beautiful life together. Mark found great pride and joy in his wife, their daughters, and their grandchildren.
Mark is survived by his wife of almost 35 years, Debbie Kennedy of Yakima, his daughters, Beth (Justin) Gil of Spokane, Laura (Jack) Nieborsky of East Wenatchee and Diane Kennedy of Highwood, Illinois; four grandchildren, Kalize Gil, Alice, Henry and Ruby Nieborsky, a brother, David (Stephanie) Kennedy of Spokane, a sister, Marcia (Chad) Graves of Richland, and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents.
Mark will be deeply missed by all who knew, respected, and loved him.
