Kevin Thomas Gaski

Kevin Thomas Gaski, age 60, of Bristol, lost his heroic and graceful battle with cancer on Saturday, October 24, 2020 surrounded by his loving family and friends at UConn Medical Center, Farmington. A lifelong Bristol resident, Kevin attended Bristol schools before graduating from St. Paul Catholic High School in 1978, and Laboure College in 1981. Kevin then joined the UConn medical team, where he ran the EEG lab for 30 years. Kevin was passionate about his work and empathetic towards his patients and their loved ones. His personal interests included spending time outdoors, whether it be a game of golf or enjoying the Nepaug Reservoir, and spending time with his nieces and nephews. Kevin's love of adventure also inspired him to earn his private pilot's license in 1996. When Kevin entered Heaven he was reunited with his parents: Edward and Maureen (McMahon) Gaski; niece: Amanda Gaski; and special friends: Helen Maher, Stubby Chard, and Michael Witkiewicz. Kevin is survived by his brothers: Mark Gaski (Barbara), and Geoffrey Gaski; sisters: Janice Gaski, Debbie Gaski, and Lisa Gaski; 12 nieces and nephews; 15 great nieces and nephews; and his lifelong friends: Russ Hurst, Gordon Washburn, and Michael Miller. Kevin will be remembered as a loyal son, loving brother, special uncle and faithful friend. Like a fine glass of whiskey, he was the master of the Irish goodbye. Kevin dear brother, uncle and friend, your spirit will live on forever in the hearts you left behind. Until we meet again God Bless, Rest in Heavenly peace. Where's the bunny, save us a seat and be good. Kevin's family would like to thank the staff at UConn Medical Center, Mt. Saini, and Sheridan Woods. A special thank you to Dr. Bulsara, Dr. Beaker, and to Navita and Patti for their compassion and Guidance.
