I'm so sorry for your loss - my heartfelt sympathy goes out to the McCarthy family! Kevin is a light that will forever shine and touch you personally in the most positive way. We will miss him deeply - physically here, though I know he will be with you all every day. He can't help himself to always be there next to you with that huge smile, a nice zinger and chuckle before making sure we are doing ok. He's such a remarkable person, that I am lucky enough to have known and shared so much time with him. He has made me a better person in more ways than one. I hope that the love and support around you helps through this time and pain.

It was heartbreaking to hear about Kevin´s sudden passing. I had the privilege of working closely with him across many years. Kevin was always polite, gentle, and respectful. I still remember how often he expressed his gratitude to me for one particular matter, which truly reflected his kind and appreciative nature. His warmth, humility, and grace will always be remembered.

I can imagine Kevin as one of the most beautiful angels in heaven now, at peace on his journey. He will be deeply missed by all of us at Marvell, both as a colleague and as a friend.

May his soul rest in peace.

Shocked and deeply saddened by the loss of Kevin.

I knew him for just over 1 year but long enough to experience his tranquility and optimism that he would infect into everyone at every occasion.

Kevin was always upbeat, even in the most difficult situations at work. An example for everyone, he will be greatly missed.

I was fortunate to work alongside Kevin McCarthy during our time at Anthem Electronics in the 1980s, and later as partners at BAE Sales. Kevin was a true professional whose positive outlook, sense of humor, and integrity left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He will be remembered with great respect and fondness. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

My sincere condolences to the McCarthy family. I graduated with Kevin from SI in 1984. While many years went by I reconnected with Kevin at St. Plus parish in Redwood City where are kids went to school. We were both able to coach our kids on various teams and I was able to coach some of his kids on the track and field team and coach with his wife Lara. It was good reconnecting with Kevin. He was always positive and friendly. He will be missed in the community.

I am in shock and so sad to hear of Kevin´s passing. I went to SCU with Kevin and we were both marketing majors. He was always ready to share a smile or make a funny comment. I enjoyed visiting with him at one of the reunions and unexpectedly ran into him at a Whole Foods when I was in town several years ago. The SCU reunions won´t be the same without him. Condolences to his family (he proudly talked about his kids).

Can't help but smile when in the presence of Mr. McCarthy and his fancy shoes. Losing someone so young and vibrant is unimaginable. My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the McCarthy family.

I am so very saddened to hear about Kevin's passing. We went to college together at Santa Clara and I was fortunate enough to connect with him at a reunion. He was very much still the same Kevin that I knew and I enjoyed hearing about his life and especially his children, of whom he was very proud. Please know that Kevin had a positive impact on my life and I have the fondest memories of our time knowing each other. I'm keeping his family in my thoughts.
