Kevin was a constant source of joy, laughter, and his zest for life was contagious. He was best known for his warmth, compassion, generosity, and ability to make people laugh. He was a genuine, happy, kind hearted soul who devoted himself to his family and friends. Not only was he the life of the party, but he could also lend heartfelt ears and nonjudgmental guidance. As his longtime friend and fellow coach, Jim Meehan expressed, “We will miss his wonderful spirit and life force. He was a great friend to many with a warm and embracing personality.”

Kevin was a huge influence in the Simsbury youth athletic community and coached for the greater part of two decades. He started coaching Simsbury Little league and Simsbury YMCA youth basketball in 1992 with his eldest son Joshua, and most notably was the head coach for the 1998 Simsbury Little League All Star state champions and 2000 Simsbury Babe Ruth All Star state champions. During, and after this time he assisted with his second son Colin’s youth baseball and basketball programs from 1995-2002. After a short break he was blessed with an opportunity to continue doing what he loved best and coached his youngest son Dan’s youth baseball team in 2005 and youth basketball and football teams in 2007. Being an experienced and successful coach, he was well known and respected among players and fellow coaches.
