It is with great sadness that we inform you of Judge Kennelly’s passing last evening.

As most of you know, he has fought a difficult battle against progressively worsening cancer complications for several years. Please join us in offering our sympathy and compassion to Judge Kennelly’s wife, Kathy, his son Peter, daughter Grace and the remainder of his family and friends.

At this time no services are planned.

Thank you,

I met John back in 1991 when I began working for the Nevada County Public Defenders Office. I had the privilege of working with him on a number of criminal cases over the years before his appointment to the bench. He was an outstanding defense attorney, a brilliant defense attorney and a true gentleman. May his memory be a blessing for Kathy, Peter, Grace, his family and for all of us who had the privilege of knowing hime. Rest In Peace, my friend.
