Kevin LaPolla, a beloved member of our community, passed away
peacefully at the age of 48 on July 11, 2024. Kevin was known for his
unwavering kindness, infectious smile, and generous spirit. He had an
incredible ability to make people laugh and brighten any room he entered.
Born and raised in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, Kevin was an alumnus of
Penn State University, class of 2000.
Kevin's passions were as diverse as they were numerous. He loved the
outdoors and was an enthusiastic frisbee golf player. An avid gamer, Kevin
was a significant part of an online gaming community, where he formed
lasting friendships and shared countless hours of joy and camaraderie. He
was a Risk board game champion for three consecutive years. Kevin also
loved playing Dungeons and Dragons with his friends and was a worldclass
Dungeon Master, creating unforgettable adventures and fostering
deep bonds within his gaming group.
Known as the life of the room wherever he was, Kevin's presence was
always felt and cherished by those around him. He was a beloved uncle
and friend, always putting his family and friends first. Kevin is survived by
his mother, Judi; his brother, Brian (Teresa), his two nieces, Breanna and
Abygail; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family. His legacy
of love, warmth, and generosity will forever be remembered by those who
knew and loved him.
A celebration of Kevin's life will be held on Wednesday July 17th at
Beck Givnish Life Celebration Home, 7400 New Falls Road, Levittown, PA 19055.
Family and Friends may visit from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, followed by services at 12:30 PM.
Kevin LaPolla's warmth, his ability to make everyone laugh, and the
memory of his jokes and laughter will forever live on in the hearts of all who
knew him.
