On May 13, 2025, Callum (Cal) Robert Kennedy, 53 years old, passed away suddenly at home in Copper Cliff, Ontario. Cal was born in Sudbury on New Year’s Eve in 1971 where he lived most of his life.
He enjoyed working as a lead hand electrician with his great team at Sandvik Mining equipment manufacturer where he tested new and refurbished used Sandvik machines. Cal lived life to the fullest. He travelled extensively to attend live music performances, deer hunting on Manitoulin Island, enjoyed camp life, and thoroughly enjoyed his recent trip to Cuba with his best friend Ahab. He was always first to offer a helping hand and always had a joke ready to tell at any moment. He had a passion for debate and a deep dedication to his family and friends.
Cal is lovingly remembered by his father David (Shelley); siblings David (Melissa), and Kathy; nieces and nephews David (April), Holly (Malik), Connor (Casey), Dennis, and Kayla; great uncle to Emmaly, David, Nolan, and Ramzi; special nephew to Charles (pre-deceased), Millie (Gene pre-deceased), Margie (Murray), Joan (Frank pre-deceased); extended family of cousins in Canada, Scotland, and United States. Cal was pre-deceased by his mother Marion and sister Vicky.
A Celebration of Life will take place at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 76, 1553 Weller St., Sudbury on Saturday, July 5, 2025, from 1:00 pm – 5:00pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in Cal’s memory can be made directly to the Sudbury Shrine Club (Montreal Children’s Hospital) would be greatly appreciated.
