Publish in a newspaper

Kevin R. Keating, Jr., 63, of Vero Beach, Florida passed away on September 29, 2025.

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.
