Obituary for Jason Pratt Kennedy

Jason Pratt Kennedy "JPK", 50, of East Hartford, died Monday, August 15, 2022 at Hartford Hospital. He was born July 21, 1972 in Hartford, son of Nathaniel F. Kennedy of Simsbury and Shirley F. Assantes of Bristol. He graduated summa cum laude from University of Hartford, Class of 1996 and had received his Masters Degree cum laude in Finance and Economics from University of South Florida. He was a Financial Analyst for several banks and corporations. Jason was a musician, enjoyed playing tennis, pool, and softball, and was a 700-Series league bowler. He loved developing intricate formulae to rate everything, helping to explain whatever “it“ was at the time. Jason's spirit animal is his cat, Frosty, who lives on. Many friends have fond memories of Jason, and he will be sorely missed.

His step father, Arthur Assantes; step mother, Linda Pearson Kennedy; step sister Jennifer Pearson Cornell; step sister Valerie Tchorz, her husband Joe and their children Tyler and Kylie; and step brother Jon Assantes.
