The Waxhaw Volunteer Fire Department is saddened to announce the death of Waxhaw Firefighter Bill Kennelly. Bill worked for 25 years as a police officer in Middletown, NJ and also served as a Fire Chief for Middletown Township Fire Department. Upon retiring, he and his family relocated to Waxhaw, NC.

Bill was an active member of Waxhaw VFD and often partnered to strengthen both our Training and Recruitment Divisions. Bill often went over and above in his service and made many friendships in Union County's Emergency Services over the years.

We are grateful for your dedication and service to the community. May you rest in peace, brother. ... See MoreSee Less

Rest In Peace

Deepest condolences WFD and to his family, many prayers.

Rest In Peace Brother.

Missing your lighthearted humor, friendly smile and good life advice you gave to those who needed it. Miss your educational moments and how happy you got when people came up to you asking for more information about joining the fire department. We lost a good brother, a wonderful father and amazing husband to his dear wife. Someone who valued bravery, honor and sacrifice. One who valued friendship and the brother/sisterhood. Rest In Peace Bill. We’ll take it from here.

My deepest condolences to his family and to the WFD. Praying that God wraps his arms around each and everyone to comfort you in your time of need.

Prayers and Condolences....

Rest easy brother!! #RFB #KTF
