Kevin Russel Oliveira

Kevin Russel Oliveira, 32, passed away on April 21, 2025, in Tequesta, Florida. Born on December 9, 1992, in Boynton Beach, Florida, Kevin brought joy to those around him from the very beginning.

A graduate of Florida State University, Kevin earned his Bachelor's degree in International Affairs in 2015. Though proud of his academic accomplishments, it was through music that Kevin truly found his voice.

Performing under the name Kev Ohm, he became a familiar and beloved presence along Florida's East Coast music scene. Blending acoustic sounds with classic rock, pop, and beach-inspired rhythms, Kevin captivated audiences across a wide range of venues. In 2018, he launched his own entertainment business and was featured in Jupiter Magazine, West Palm Beach Magazine, and VoyageMIA as a premier performer and trusted small business owner. Whether at intimate gatherings or lively events, Kevin poured his heart into every performance.

Music was more than a profession-it was an extension of Kevin's vibrant spirit. He wrote and performed original songs with authenticity and passion, creating lasting memories for those who listened.

Kevin embraced life with intention. He enjoyed meditation, nature, clean eating, and simple pleasures like playing Super Mario. He cherished his dogs and held deep connections with family and friends.

Kevin faced personal challenges with courage. He struggled for years with an addiction to Kratom and Kava-substances that remain dangerously underregulated. Despite his efforts to overcome them, this battle ultimately led to his passing. In sharing this truth, Kevin hoped to raise awareness and help others.

He is lovingly remembered by his mother Adriana; his father Carlos; and his brother Deandre. His memory lives on in the hearts of friends, fans, fellow musicians, and all who were touched by his generous spirit. Their support helped shape the man who would become known not only for his talent but also for his kindness.

Those who knew Kevin describe him as fiercely kind, loving, and an all-around delight to know. When he believed in something-or someone-he gave it everything he had. His dreams were big, his heart even bigger. He was a force of nature whose presence lit up every room he entered.

Kevin's passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew him. Yet even in grief, there is comfort in remembering the joy he brought into this world-the music he created, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave so freely.

May we imagine him now on a sunlit shore beyond this world-guitar in hand-strumming melodies among angels on a beautiful beach in Heaven.

His memory will continue to inspire those who loved him to live boldly, dream freely, and love deeply-just as he did.

A memorial service will be held on May 17, 2025, at First Presbyterian Church, 482 Tequesta Dr, Tequesta, FL 33469 starting at 5pm
