He is survived by his two children, Patrick (Xuejiao) and Martin (Jessica); his two sisters, Catharine Watson (Bill) and Christine Smith (Bill); his sister in law, Jan Donohoe; and predeceased by his brother John and his parents.

Everyone who knows Kevin remembers his love for impromptu speeches and traditional Irish blessings.
