On April 29, 2025, the world became a little dimmer with the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Kevin Dougherty—a beloved husband, father, and friend whose presence was nothing short of irreplaceable.
Kevin was the pillar of his family and the center of his community. He was a devoted husband to Michelle, a loving father to their 16-month-old son Aiden, and was filled with anticipation and joy at the upcoming arrival of their daughter, Lillian Mae, due this September. His passing has left a deep and aching void that words simply cannot fill.
To know Kevin was to experience a rare kind of warmth. He wasn’t just a friend—he was a constant. He was a person whose laughter brightened a room, whose kindness made heavy days lighter, and whose loyalty gave strength to those around him. He had an extraordinary gift for making others feel seen, valued, and safe, and his presence brought peace and joy to every space he entered.
His love for Michelle, Aiden, and Lillian was evident in every aspect of his life. He lived with his whole heart—generous, humble, and always putting others first. Whether sharing a quiet moment or a loud, joy-filled laugh, Kevin had a way of lifting others up just by being himself.
As those who knew and loved him begin to navigate a world without his steady presence, they are left with an abundance of memories—of kindness, strength, and an unwavering love that will live on through his children and all the lives he touched. His legacy is one of love, light, and compassion.
Kevin is survived by his wife Michelle, his son Aiden, and his soon-to-be-born daughter Lillian Mae, as well as countless family members and friends who will forever carry his spirit in their hearts.
In this time of deep sorrow, we find comfort in remembering the man Kevin was—and always will be to those who knew him: one of the good ones. One of the best. And he will be missed more than words can ever say.
GoFundMe : We’ve created this GoFundMe to support Michelle, Aiden, and Lillian as they face this unimaginable chapter. Funds raised will go toward daily needs, childcare, and whatever support can ease the burden on this beautiful young family as they navigate life without Kevin.
Thank you for being part of this circle of love—for donating, sharing, or simply holding Kevin’s memory in your heart. If you knew him, you know just how deeply he cared. Now, we have the opportunity to show that same care to the people he loved most. Funeral memorial soon…
