Kevin McMahon Obituary
A beloved son, Kevin was born in Hartford on April 23, 1985, to Sara E. Miner Slitt and Joseph P. McMahon. Kevin attended Simsbury Public Schools and the Farmington Valley Transition Academy. Kevin was employed through FAVARH's Life Enrichment Opportunities (LEO) program. Kevin will be remembered for his love of family and food; his kind, innocent, honest, and gentle manner; his many friends at FAVARH and Special Olympics. Kevin especially enjoyed Beatles music and family get-togethers, during which he served as statistician, remembering everyone's birthdates and anniversaries. An avid Yankees fan and sometimes regular at Connecticut Whale games, Kevin was quite proud of his Special Olympics medals in snowshoeing, track, bowling, and golf events.
He is survived by his father, Joseph P. McMahon of West Hartford; his mother and father, Sara and Wayne Slitt of Simsbury; his brother, Peter McMahon of San Diego, Calif.; his sisters, Hannah and Sophia Finn-McMahon, and his brother, Callan Finn-McMahon, and their mother, Eileen Finn, all of West Hartford; his brothers, Brian (Christina) Slitt of Ashland, Mass., and Michael (Rachel) Slitt of Bloomfield; his maternal aunts and uncles, Susan (David) Lyons, David (Mary) Miner, Deborah Miner, all of Manchester, Wendy (Robert) Warner of Bellingham, Wash., and Richard (Susan) Carey of Center Sandwich, N.H.; his paternal aunts and uncles, Frances Peterson of South Portland, Maine, Catherine McMahon of Harrison, Maine, James (Ellen) McMahon of Quaker Hill, Paul (Midge) McMahon of Westminster, Calif., John (Kathleen) McMahon of Newington; his grandmother, Dorothy Slitt of West Hartford; and aunt, Carol Gill of Farmington; and uncle, Mark Slitt of Bloomfield. He also leaves many cousins and a niece and nephew. He also leaves his special friend, Debbie.
Calling hours are on Friday, March 22, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the John F. Tierney Funeral Home, 219 W. Center St., Manchester.

Kevin was a wonderful individual who I will always remember. In my two years working with him at Horizons I was inspired by his love fo life and energy. My heart broke when I heard of his passing but I know that he will always live on in my heart with a beautiful smile and passionate heart.
It was an absolute pleasure knowing Kevin and I will greatly treasure everything he taught me for the rest of my life. I look forward to seeing him in heaven where I know he is.

I asked God to put beautiful words in my mouth for all of you who loved Kevin. But all I keep remembering is Kevin's intensely handsome face saying to me each time we met: "You are my cousin Patricia".
With those few words he gave me my roots in a beautiful family, and I always looked forward to our next meeting. And so, Kevin, until we meet again in God's Kingdom, may He hold you in the palm of His hand. Sincerest heartfelt sympathy to the whole family. Love Cousin Patricia and Dick
