Kevin Dabrowski Obituary
WEBSTER - Marine Corporal Kevin A. Dabrowski, 24, of Camp Lejeune, NC, died Saturday, August 11, 2012 in South Carolina from injuries sustained in a tragic car accident while he was returning home with his beloved son for a two-week visit.
He leaves his parents, Alan A. and Jean E. (MacManus) Dabrowski of Webster; a son, Garrett A. Dabrowski, age 2; 2 sisters, Kimberly Penney and her husband Joel of Webster and Korey Dabrowski and her fiancé Curtis Grey of Enfield, CT; a niece Mia and a nephew Michael; aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends. He was preceded in death by a son Jake.
He was born on December 11, 1987 in Worcester and raised in Webster. He graduated from Bartlett High School in 2006 and was in the ROTC. He volunteered as an auxiliary fireman for the Webster Fire Department for 2 years. He then fulfilled his childhood dream of entering the United States Marine Corps in 2006.
Corporal Dabrowski was currently the first squad leader of the Third Platoon Bravo Company, 1/9 Walking Dead. He served his country for 6 years during which he was deployed on 3 tours of duty: Iraq, Afghanistan and on the USS Mesa Verde. He was honored that his next assignment was to include attending jump school this fall. He was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, the Combat Action Ribbon, the Navy Unit Commendation, the National Defense Service Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon and the NATO ISAF Medal. His fellow marines nicknamed him D-BO.
Kevin enjoyed barbecuing his famous ribs, flying remote control planes, being in the outdoors, mudding and listening to country music. His happiest times were those he spent with his son. He was a great father, a loving son and brother and a dedicated Marine. He was constantly in his family's hearts and minds. Kevin will be missed terribly by all who knew him.
The funeral service will be held on Wednesday, August 22 at 11:00 AM in the Webster Town Hall, Main Street. Members of the United States Marine Corps will provide full military honors. Calling hours will be held from 5:00 to 8:00 PM Tuesday, August 21, at Scanlon Funeral Service, 38 East Main Street,Webster. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wounded Warriors Project, PO Box 758517, Topeka, Kansas 66675.

With sincere condolences to the Dabrowski family during your time of grief. Psalm 46:1 “God is for us a refuge and strength, A help that is readily to be found during difficult times” May God (John 17:3) provide you with peace and comfort to endure the days ahead.

Dear Alan, Jeanne, Kim, and Corey,
From my fond memories of the family gatherings in Webster it seems that Kevin, even as a young child was destined and determined to serve his country as a soldier. We now know that he went on to do that with selfless commitment, great courage, and distinction.
While we are truly grateful for his service, we are deeply saddened by his untimely passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your extended families, and especially with Garrett who I hope will always cherish his father's love and legacy.

Mr. and Mrs. Dabrowski, Kim, and Korey.
No words are going to help you get passed this. But after all the time that has passed, I would like you to know that I would be there to help you in anyway I can. I loved Kevin very much. He was great friend. You did a great job raising him. I can only hope his son will grow up to be like him.

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Cpl Kevin A. Dabrowski our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Kevin. And to Kevin it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom while serving with the U.S. Marine Corps. Kevin, we bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace. Semper Fi.
On behalf of the 1,307 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Kevin's family and loved ones.
