Help Support Kevin Kennedy's Family After Loss.
According to GoFundMe:
Kevin Kennedy was a beloved husband, father, and friend whose sudden passing has left an immeasurable void in the lives of those who loved him.
On July 22, 2026, Kevin left this world doing what he cherished most—surfing in the ocean, a lifelong passion that brought him peace and joy. His final moments were spent in the water, with his son Jack beside him, and the ocean's salt and sand still clinging to him—a poetic farewell that echoed his deepest wishes.
Kevin's family, including his wife Kristine and son Jack, are devastated by this loss, but find comfort in the grace-filled moments and cherished memories they shared during his last months, especially after his cardiac emergency in March forced him to slow down and spend precious time with his loved ones.
For the past 14 years, Kevin carried the weight of the world for his family after Kristine became disabled. He managed everything—home, work, and family—with unwavering devotion and without complaint, ensuring his loved ones always felt cherished and protected.
Now, as his family faces the challenges of life without Kevin, they need the help of their community more than ever. Every contribution will go directly toward easing the financial burden for Kristine and Jack, helping them navigate this difficult time and honoring Kevin's legacy of love and care.
The Rizzo Family and friends, along with all who knew Kevin, are reaching out with heartfelt gratitude for any assistance offered to this beautiful family. Your support will make a meaningful difference as they move forward, carrying Kevin's memory and spirit with them always.
