Kevin Angelo Duffy Obituary
Kevin was an extraordinary individual who had a deep passion for family, cooking, traveling and hockey, especially the Boston Bruins. He had a love for languages which stemmed from his extensive travels abroad including living for several years in the former Czechoslovakia. From a young age, he enjoyed family gatherings and being in the kitchen hosting his loved ones.
He is survived by his loving wife Diane, who cared for him with unwavering dedication during his battle with ALS. Kevin is also survived by his children Liam, Aidan and Ciara Duffy, as well as his stepsons Andrew (Nicole Cosich), Brian (Candance Wong) and Connor (Katherine Simpson) Schaeffer, whom he cherished as his own. He was the grandfather of Abigail, Nat-Nat, Harper and Barrett. He is remembered by his siblings Matthew III (Scott Mills) , Michael (Erika) and Doreen Duffy as they all shared a close bond and will miss him immensely. Kevin was uncle to Brenden and Mya. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Kevin was a son of Cranston, playing Little League Baseball and CLCF Hockey. He had a thirst for learning and his educational pursuits took him from Cranston High School West to the University of Maryland (a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity) to Northeastern where he attained his MBA.
A mass of Christian Burial will be held on May 20th at 11:00 am at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 1525 Cranston Street, Cranston, RI. Family will be there to greet starting at 10:15 am.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to ALS Therapy Development Institute at https://www.als.net in memory of Kevins' courageous battle with ALS.
Kevin's kindness, love for his family, and zest for life will forever be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in peace.

I worked with Kevin while in college when we both worked at Senate Parking. Another fellow Parking Attendant just let us know of his passing. I am very sorry for your loss. I remember him as a great guy.

Kevin was a fraternity brother of mine, at Phi Sigma Kappa at the George Washington University. He a few years older than me and my fellow "pledges", but he was always kind to us and the younger members of the fraternity. He was simultaneously fun and a good role model. He will be deeply missed.

Dolores, Matthew, Michael and Doreen...I just learned about the passing of my childhood friend, Kevin. I am so sorry for your loss. Kevin was one of the nicest, respectful and comical boys to grow up with. I remember me, Dean Gallo and Kevin all walking to and from school together!!! Kevin with his humor and Dean with his singing!!! Such great memories!!! Dolores you were such a great mom and neighbor!!! The kids from Meshanticut Park were truly lucky to have each other!!! I will ALWAYS cherish my friendship with both Kevin and Dean who have been taken way too early from us!!! You and your family will be in my continued thoughts and prayers!!!
Love to you always,

When Kevin walked in a room you could just feel the energy level go up! So many great memories with him - we had a blast messing around in Mr. Mansellas social studies class in 7th grade and shared so much fun on the ice at Cranston Vets as far back as I can remember. Be thou at peace - tomorrow is not a guarantee and this guy would want us to celebrate life as long as we can! One of the best obits I´ve ever read - really well done and captures his essence!

Whenever I see a red Subaru, I think of Kevin. He had that small red Subaru for so long. It´s probably still running.

I´d like to extend my deepest sympathies to the family of Kevin, particularly his widow and children, his siblings and most especially his mother, Dolores. I first met Kevin when my father passed and he gave a beautiful and sympathetic reading in church. May he rest in eternal peace.
