David Anthony Kennedy (June 15, 1955 - April 25, 1984) was born in Washington, D.C. He was the fourth of eleven children of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy.

Witnessing his father's assassination on June 5, 1968 fuelled David's introspection and sensitivity. Like others in his generation of Kennedys, he began recreational drug use shortly thereafter.

A 1973 Jeep accident, in which his eldest brother, Joseph Kennedy II, was driving, left his then-girlfriend, Pamela Kelley, paralyzed. David sustained a fractured vertebra and became addicted to the painkillers he was given in the hospital. He began shooting heroin in his final year at Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts, that autumn.

David was a talented writer who harbored ambitions to be a journalist. He spent several months as an intern for a Tennessean Newspaper in 1974 and impressed staff there with his aptitude.

David Kennedy spent several years in Harvard, pursuing an Arts degree with an American History major. He was unable to complete his studies before his death.

After dropping out of Harvard in the autumn of 1976, David alternated his time between the Kennedy family home, "Hickory Hill" in McLean, Virginia, and New York until February 1979, when he moved to New York City full time. He was frequently seen in the Manhattan discos with a succession of attractive women. His most notable involvement was with British actress Rachel Ward, whom he met in one such establishment in 1979.

Several drug-related problems surfaced in the 1970s. David was diagnosed twice with bacterial endocarditis, an inflammation of the heart often associated with intravenous drug use. He suffered drug overdoses in 1976 and 1978. He also had a few skirmishes with the law, including speeding offences and a DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol). He spent two months in Sussex England under the care of Dr. Margaret Patterson, an addiction specialist, during the winter of 1978/79.

David moved to Sacramento, California, under the guidance of a drug counselor. The beginning of the 1980s saw a more quiet, settled period begin in David's life. Drug free, he found occasional work through family contacts. He enjoyed virtual anonymity in Sacramento, and adapted well to the laid back lifestyle.

David had renewed thoughts of Harvard and moved back east in the autumn of 1982. A 6 month stint with the Boston based Atlantic Monthly magazine followed. He spent time in Spofford Hall, a rehab facility in New Hampshire in September 1983 in order to curb his drinking before recommencing his studies. He completed a fall semester but his return to drugs again forced him out. He remained in Boston with his girlfriend, fashion photographer, Paula Sculley as the new year 1984 began.

He completed a month-long stint at St. Mary's Hospital and Rehabilitation Center, in Minneapolis, just before Easter 1984, to once again try to combat his addictions. He flew down to Palm Beach, Florida, on April 19, 1984, for Easter, where several members of the Kennedy family had gathered. David checked into room 107 of the Brazilian Court hotel and spent the next few days partying. At the insistence of concerned family members, staff went to check on his welfare and found David dead on the floor of his suite from an overdose of cocaine, Demerol, and Mellaril on April 25, 1984.

David Kennedy was interred in the family plot at Holyhood Cemetery, in Brookline, Massachusetts. He was 28 years old.

David Kennedy (27 April 1864 - 10 March, 1936) was born at Lyttelton, New Zealand, the son of an Irish mother and a Scottish father who came to New Zealand from Melbourne in 1863. He became the first New Zealand born priest of the Society of Mary (Marists), a noted astronomer and educator.

As a boy he showed a keen interest in both theology and science. Because of his undoubted intelligence and promise he was sent to study at the Marist college at Dundalk, Ireland in 1878. In 1884 he entered the Marist novitiate at Paignton, England, and in 1886 he graduated BA at the Royal University of Ireland in mathematics and science. For the following two years he taught at his old school in Dundalk, during which time he wrote a textbook, Natural philosophy for junior students, covering a variety of scientific topics including mechanics, hydrostatics, pneumatics, gravity and motion. It was published in Dublin in 1891 (and went to a 10th edition in 1926). Kennedy had continued his theological work, studying in France and Spain, and was ordained to the priesthood in Rome in 1891. There he studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University, completing degrees in canon law and divinity in 1892.

In 1893 he returned to New Zealand to teach at the newly opened Marist seminary at Meeanee near Napier. Kennedy continued his scientific pursuits and gave public lectures illustrated with lantern slides. He was interested in entomology and was adept at microscopic photography, and from 1905 to 1909 he operated a meteorological station.

In 1909 he moved St. Patrick's College, Wellington where he was rector until 1917.

Kennedy's first love however was astronomy. Royalties from his book had helped fund an observatory he built at Meeanee. In July 1907 with a nine-inch photo-visual refracting telescope he opened a new observatory in Meeanee observatory. This was, at the time, the best equipped in New Zealand. A month later it was used to study Comet Daniel.

In 1910 together with two seminarians, Joseph Cullen and Ignatius von Gottfried, he photographed Halley's Comet. The photographs of this period were the best in the world for that appearance of the comet, and were republished in the United States by NASA in 1986.

In 1911, when the Marist Seminary was shifted from Meeanee to Greenmeadows together with the observatory howeverit was destroyed in a storm in 1912.

Kennedy became rector at the Greenmeadows Seminary from 1918 to 1920, but lacked the money to re-establish the observatory.

Kennedy gave evidence before the Education Commission of 1912, and while at St Patrick's College enthusiastically promoted the study of science. One of his pupils, James Bronte Gatenby, in 1920 became the first recipient of a DPhil degree from Oxford University, and was later professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at Trinity College, Dublin.

Kennedy became a fellow of the Royal Astronomical and Royal Meteorological societies. He was also admired for his skill as a cellist.

From 1929 to 1934 he was the provincial superior of the Society of Mary in New Zealand.

He died in Wellington on 10 March, 1936.
