Kevin Keating, Jr. Obituary
Kevin is survived by his loving fiancée, Debra Borremans, and her children Jordi, Jessie and Jason. He was a loving partner, son, brother, stepfather figure and friend to every single person he met.
Kevin was the cherished son of Kevin R. Keating (deceased) and Carol A. Keating. He is survived by his siblings Tim, Mike, Beth and Kathy.
Kevin was an avid runner, finding peace in the steady pace and the beautiful scenery of Riverside Park. Kevin's love of the outdoors was evident in his life. He and his fiancée traveled often to explore islands, mountains, and everything in between. When he decided to propose, it was on the beach, where Kevin and Debra built their life together.
Kevin loved deeply and was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His kindness, strength and humor touched countless people. Kevin spent the last 13 years in selfless service to the men and women of AA. His driving force was Helping Other People Everyday. He carried this HOPE into all areas of his life. The ripple effect of Kevin's service will live on forever.
A Celebration of Life will be held on October 12, 2025 at the Newport Club in Vero Beach, FL at 1:30 pm, immediately following his home group meeting. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Newport Club Vero Beach to honor Kevin's life of service.
Arrangements are by Thomas S. Lowther Funeral Home & Crematory, Vero Beach. An online guestbook is available at www.lowtherfamily.com

So sad to hear about Kevin. I knew Kevin since I met him in 7th grade in Westport, Ct when we were on the same youth basketball team. From then on he was my best friend. He was the nicest and considerate person. We played endless hours of basketball together ( he was a great player) and I always remember visiting him at Georgetown to watch a big East game at McDonough arena. He was the best man at my wedding and a great friend for 30+ years. It makes me sad he wasn´t able to enjoy the happiness that he deserved with Debra and her children.

My husband and I had the privilege to see Kevin in his element working out daily at the fitness trails at Riverside Park. He was so kind and uplifting to everyone he met. Every time we spoke he would say "Have a great day". He will always be remembered in our hearts. He will be greatly missed.
