Kevin McCoy Obituary

McCoy, Kevin Michael
Kevin Michael McCoy, age 50, passed away unexpectedly at his home Sunday, September 2nd. Kevin was born in Springfield, IL and graduated from Auburn High School, Auburn, IL in 1979. He moved to Phoenix in 1979 and married Lisa Young in 1982. They just celebrated 30 years of marriage. Kevin was an electrician for 30 years. In March 2007, he started and co-owns A&K Electric with partner and dear friend Andrew (Cherie) Nielsen. His interests included camping and fishing, racing and travel. His greatest joy was RV'ing with his family, especially making memories with his granddaughter Eden. Kevin is survived by his wife Lisa Young McCoy, daughters Karen & Kayla McCoy, granddaughter Eden Copp, mother Alma Tomarelli, brother Greg McCoy, and cousin Leah McCoy (all of Phoenix); father Frank McCoy and sister Tiffany McCoy of Virden, IL. Also surviving is a very large extended family, nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, 6 brother-in-laws, and 3 sister-in-laws. Kevin is preceded in death by his step-father Charles Tomarelli. Memorial Service will be held Sunday, September 9th at 4:00 PM at Heritage Funeral Chapel, 6830 W. Thunderbird Rd. Peoria, AZ. Kevin had a wonderful sense of humor and an infectious laugh. Although he had a rough exterior, Kevin was a big softie with a heart of gold, who deeply cared for his friends and family. Please sign his guestbook at www.heritagefuneralchapels.com

Everyone at Five Star Concrete Services sends our condolences to The McCoy Family and everyone with A&K Electric. We have worked with Kevin (& Andrew) for over 9 years. And it has been our pleasure! Kevin had a great sense of humor and always had a different nickname for me when he called to schedule work. May your own special memories help heal the saddness in your heart. God Bless!
