Obituary
New Iberia– A Mass of Christian Burial will be held for Mr. Edgar J. "Tyo" Kennedy Jr., age 77, on Friday, January 20, 2023 at 10:00AM at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church with Fr. Garrett Savoie officiating. Interment will follow at Holy Family Cemetery.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 19, 2023 from 4:00PM until 8:00PM with a rosary being led by the Men's Rosary Group at 6:00PM. Visitation will continue on Friday from 8:00AM until the time of the service.

A native of Weeks Island and resident of New Iberia, "Tyo" as he was affectionately known, passed away on Monday, January 16, 2023 at his home with his family by his side.

"Tyo" was born on August 31, 1945. He retired from Morton Salt after 40+ years. He had a passion for bowling. Throughout his years of bowling, two amazing things happened; he bowled two perfect games and met the love of his life, his wife, Patsy Hebert Kennedy. "Tyo" was a devout Catholic. He loved going to Mass and prayed the rosary daily. He served as an usher for Our Lady of Perpetual Help for 30 years. "Tyo", also known as "PaPop" to his family, loved food, especially peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, coffee, and hot sauce on everything. He enjoyed traveling and spending time with his family. He looked forward to Sunday dinners at his grandson's home.

He is survived by his daughter, Pamela Landry of New Iberia; grandchildren, Seth Landry and wife Malerie of Loreauville, Nicholas Landry and wife Danielle of New Iberia; and Samantha Lairamore and husband Dale of New Iberia; and seven great grandchildren, Brielle and Connor Landry both of Loreauville, Hazel, Pierre, and John-Claude Landry, Kennedy and Westin Lairamore all of New Iberia.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 37 years, Patsy Hebert Kennedy; parents, Edgar Kennedy Sr. and Eva Sevin; and sister, Rose K. Hebert.

Honored to serve as Pallbearers are Seth Landry, Nicholas Landry, Terry Champagne, Grant Champagne, Claude Vice and Larry Romero. Honorary Pallbearers will be Paul Landry, Dale Lairamore, and Jeff Landry.
