Kevin Patel Obituary

It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness we announce the tragic passing of Kevin N. Patel, 28, of Collegeville PA, near his residence in Chicago, IL on April 16th 2025. His sudden departure has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.
Kevin was the beloved younger child of Nitin and Bhavana Patel. From an early age, it was clear that he had a bright mind, generous heart, and the spirit to put smiles on everyone's face. He was kind, caring, loving, and affectionate to anyone he met, whether it was someone he knew or a new stranger he met at his frequent workouts at the gym. Those who remember Kevin know he never had anything bad or negative to say about anyone he encountered.
Kevin excelled throughout his academic career. His brilliance showed from achieving his national honors society at Perkiomen Valley High School, to his undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin. His passion for math and numbers kept him driven to find a successful career as an Actuary, and eventually receiving his Associates of the Society of Actuaries (ASA) designation.
Kevin was passionate about so many things, most notably Philadelphia sports (especially his Philadelphia Eagles), having a healthy lifestyle, and enjoying life's smallest moments. For Kevin, the World never seemed too big or intimidating. He took life day by day, striving for daily progress, and making the little things count to whomever he touched that day.
Kevin leaves behind so many who will miss him deeply, including his parents Nitin & Bhavana Patel, and his older brother Neil. Kevin's memory will remain in the hearts of his entire family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy will live on for generations to come, inspiring those around him with his kindness, generosity, and unforgettable spirit.
Funeral services for Kevin Patel will be held on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 11:00 AM at Catagnus Funeral Home & Cremation Center, LTD. (329 N Lewis Rd, Royersford, PA 19468.) A viewing will also be held on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 9:00 AM-10:45 AM at the funeral home. We welcome all who knew and loved him to join us in honoring his memory. Immediate family, close friends and those who have traveled a long distance are invited to Crossroads Presbyterian Church (10 W.

I only knew Kevin as a familiar face at the gym, but he always had a smile to offer when we saw each other. A friend of mine recounted a story where he had an issue with his locker and Kevin was there to help. I could tell he was just that kind of guy, a great member of any community. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Kevin´s family,

My heart goes out to you in these extremely sad times. You raised him so well, and that´s one of the reasons our team is so saddened - we all enjoyed just being around him.
I wanted to share one of the last Teams exchanges with Kevin. When he learnt that I was expecting, while already having 2 boys (8yo and 11 yo), he could definitely relate! And he talked about his brother a lot too

Kevin will be missed tremendously! He was truly a light. He was so kind. I remember when he joined Milliman. He was one of my favorite people to stop and chat with throughout my day and catch up with. Kevin was close to my son´s age. My heartfelt prayers go out to the family. God be with you all.

May God rest his soul. I pray for your family as you grieve the loss of Kevin. Gone too soon. God bless you all.

I did not know him, but I live around the corner - so know that this is deeply felt throughout the neighborhood. This never should have happened and I´ll continue to press our alderman for answers and solutions so this never happens again.

Years ago while a resident physician I lived at Lill and Halsted in Lincoln Park and it was an idyllic location for one in my situation. Learning of this tragedy, and that a life so full of promise, thoughtfulness and unfettered potential, made me sick to my stomach. I read of Kevin's promise and the God's bestowed gifts to him and thought immediately not only of the depravity of this senseless act but also what we as a society, and victims' familes, lose as a result.

My thoughts and prayers are with Kevin, his friends, family and those who will never have the opportunity to know him. May he rest in eternal peace and may only good memories sustain all those who knew and loved him all their live long days.

I am sorry for the loss of Kevin. I live in Lincoln Park. Didn't know him but I can tell he was a wonderful kid. I am sorry his family and friends are having to go through this. God bless this young man's soul. To the family, please hang in there.
