Kevin Broad Obituary

SANFORD — Kevin Broad, 45, of Sanford, passed away on Aug. 12, 2012, at Goodall Hospital, surrounded by family and friends after a long battle with illness.

Kevin was born in Rochester, N.Y., on July 21, 1967, and spent his childhood in Bethel Park, Pa.

Kevin was a graduate of the University of Maine at Orono with a BA in Mechanical Engineering, and a graduate of the University of Southern Maine with a BA in Education.

Kevin was a passionate Massabesic high school math teacher and believed to be privileged to make a difference in the lives of his students but equally as fortunate to have been enriched by them. He was the high school swim coach and was proud of the many achievements of the team. His easygoing and quirky personality provided many enjoyable moments for all those around him. He was awarded Coach of the Year in 2009.

Kevin was a very active member of Seaglass Performing Chorale, a member of the North Parish Congregational Church and the director of the children's choir. Singing was one of Kevin's greatest passions, and he performed at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. and the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts. He was also a part of various Seaglass theatrical productions like "Camelot," "Man of la Mancha" and "Pirates of Penzance," just to name a few.

Kevin was predeceased by his father, David L. Broad, of Atlanta, Ga.

He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Barbara, and daughter, Victoria; his mother, Anne Broad, of Atlanta; his sisters, Emily Shively and family, of Atlanta, and Erin Hanlon and family, of Maui, Hawaii; in-laws Barbara and Geoffrey Magnuson, of Lyman; and a large extended family and friends.

A memorial service will be held at the Massabesic High School Gym on Saturday, Aug. 25, at 11 a.m.
