Calvin C. Kennebrew Sr.
October 25, 1972 - February 28, 2022
Calvin Curtis Kennebrew Sr, age 49 of Muskegon Heights, MI passed away on Monday, February 28, 2022 at The Poppen Residence of Harbor Hospice after a courageous battle with cancer. His final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Calvin had touched in some small way throughout his short, yet very memorable life. Calvin went to Muskegon High School and proudly worked in the hospitality industry for more than two decades. Calvin’s life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. He loved music and sports, he was always the life of the party, especially during events such as the Super Bowl and family gatherings. His gentle smile and sense of humor brought so much joy to our family. He loved fiercely and deeply and we take comfort in knowing that Calvin is now at peace surrounded by light. Calvin leaves to cherish his precious memory, mother Willie Mae Kennebrew; 4 sons, Calvin Kennebrew Jr., Deont’e Kennebrew, DaVireo Kennebrew, and Javion Collie; 1 daughter, Jade Smith; granddaughter Elizbella Kennebrew and grand-pup, Lulu Kennebrew; brothers, Glen Gray (Yolanda Kay), Calvin Burt Jr., Kevin Chambers (Charlene); sisters, Kimberly Williams, Stephanie Long, Tonya Waire, Tiffanie Burt (John) and Camille Franklin; special friend, Kathy Harris; and a host of other dear relatives and friends. Calvin was preceded in death by his father, Calvin Burt Sr; grandparents Curtis Mclemore and Lula Mae Mclemore; brother, Jutayn Kennebrew.
