Mike “Dork” Kennedy...


"On Wednesday 3.26.14 we lost a family member, Mike Kennedy aka Dork. He was one of the two Boston Fire Fighters that lost their lives while fighting a 9 alarm fire in downtown Boston. Dork was a huge presence in the community while at Craic and after he left. Dork was the reason I joined Craic and a few other members, including his girlfriend Sarah Wessmann. Whenever he was in the gym he always pushed you to be better than you thought you could. This also carried to his life outside the gym. He was known to the world as a CrossFit coach, a Marine and a Fire Fighter. He was more than that to me and many others. He was my friend, my brother, my mentor and even a father figure at times. It was never a dull moment with Dork around. The world will not be the same without him. We will miss you Dork".  - CrossFit Craic
