Kevin Mc Laughlin Funeral Expenses
Donation protected
Kevin McLaughlin died unexpectedly over the 2022 Memorial Day weekend. We, his family, were startled and shocked by his passing. He passed away from a sudden cardiac death. Over his life, he struggled with alcoholism and addiction. He achieved sobriety successfully and had been moving forward in his life.
Kevin started swimming early in his life and became a strong member of the Ladera Oaks swim team and later was a member of the AAU swim team. At this time, he also started his love with surfing, which continued through out his life. Among his other pursuits, was spending time at the "Winter Club" in Palo Alto. (our neighborhood ice skating rink). He would often be seen circling around the rink at high speeds.
He attended, Garland elementary, St. Alberts, Jordan Jr. High School and then Graduated from Palo Alto High School year of 1971.
In his 20's, he started his modeling career and ended up working with Ford, in New York. He had a number of clients from Adidas to the Brawny Paper Towels (He was the first Brawny Man) and even Chippendale's Calendar.
As a Bay Area native, Kevin followed the Giants Baseball team and in later years, also followed the Golden State Warriors basket ball team.
Kevin was a talented carpenter and was a union member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters in NY. Since his retirement from the union, Kevin continued to work specializing in home remodeling. Kevin leaves behind his loving family including Travis, his 32-year old son, of NY, NY and his sister, Dinnie McLaughlin of Mountain View, CA.
We are putting together this “Go Fund Me”, in hopes of being able to :
1) Take care of all his final bills and expenses
2) And, in lieu of flowers.
3) No amount is too small. All donations are appreciated!
If this “Go Fund me” Fundraiser exceeds what we need for expenses, the balance will be donated to a local group supporting those with substance and alcohol abuse problems.
Please share this with all of those that knew and cared for Kevin. We do not have access to his whole community and want to make sure people are notified about his passing.
We are planning a ceremony to take place on Monday June 27 to celebrate Kevin’s life.
It is planned to take place at Shinnecock Inlet time 6:30 pm. Notice * We have changed the time by 30 minutes to accommodate those that have to work on Monday.
