John Fitzgerald ‘Jack’ Kennedy

(May 29, 1917 - Nov. 22, 1963)

John F. Kennedy is perhaps the most popular member of the Kennedy family for one very special reason- he was the 35th president of the United States. He started out as a joking, charismatic boy, then a famous World War II hero. He climbed his way up in the world of politics- starting as a member of the US House of Representatives and a United States Senator from Massachusetts before finally becoming President.

On September 12, 1953, Jacqueline ‘Jackie’ Bouvier, became his wife. They produced four children:

Arabella (stillborn in 1956)

Caroline Bouvier (b. Nov. 27, 1957)

John Fitzgerald, Jr (Nov. 25, 1960 - July 16, 1999)

Jack was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. The shooter is supposably Lee Harvey Oswald, although alternate conspiracy theories prove otherwise.
