JACKSONVILLE, FL — The Jacksonville community is mourning the loss of Kennedy Ashley Waymer, who passed away peacefully on October 14, 2025. Though her passing leaves a profound emptiness in the lives of many, the memory of Kennedy’s radiant spirit continues to bring comfort and inspiration to all who were fortunate to know her.

Kennedy was widely known as someone who brought joy wherever she went. Whether through a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or simply her warm presence, she had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and uplifted. Her infectious smile and compassionate heart created a legacy of love that touched not just her immediate family, but also friends, neighbors, and the greater Jacksonville community.

“She was the kind of person who could light up an entire room with her energy,” shared a close family friend. “Kennedy had a quiet strength and a beautiful soul — she made life better for the people around her.”

A devoted family member and cherished friend, Kennedy embodied grace, humility, and unwavering faith. She was someone others leaned on in times of need, and she always gave of herself without expecting anything in return.
