Kenneth P. Kalva
Kenneth Paul Kalva, 73, of St. Augustine, passed away peacefully, at his home, with his family by his side on October 7, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with lung cancer. Ken was born on December 31, 1951, to Stanley and Jean Kalwa of Enfield, CT. He graduated from Enfield High School, Fairfield University, and received a Ph.D. in Chiropractic Medicine from the National College of Chiropractic Medicine. Ken will be remembered as a deeply spiritual man, loving husband, father, and loyal friend. He was known for his funny, caring personality, infectious smile, impactful service to others, compassionate and humble spirit, and strong faith in God. Ken's inner compass always led him to what was right, honest, noble, good and kind. He touched us all with his gentleness, his example and his deep and evergreen relationships with loved ones. He is reunited with his first wife, Roberta; and his brother, Richard Kalva. Ken is survived by his wife, Susan Barrow; children, Bret (Denise) Kalva, Jaclyn Kalva, and Nathan Kalva; granddaughter, Brooke Kalva; brother, Ronald Kalva; and sister-in-law, Maureen (Richard) Kalva. An open house will be held on November 21, 2025, from 3-5 pm at the home of Susan and Ken in St. Augustine, FL, after a small private service for the immediate family. Secondly, a Celebration of Life will be held in CT in the spring of 2026.
