It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kevin Joseph Farrell, a devoted husband, loving father, cherished son, beloved brother, irreplaceable uncle, nephew & cousin, and loyal friend. Kevin passed away peacefully on March 20, 2025 at the age of 45.
Born on October 5, 1979 in Manhattan, New York, Kevin grew up in the Riverdale section of the Bronx to be a person that touched the lives of all who knew him with his quick wit, sense of humor, infectious smile, and heart full of love for his friends and family.
He is survived by his loving wife Christina, his cherished children Conor and Laurie Beth, his devoted parents Peter and Lucy, his siblings Brendan (Kristine), PJ (Gina), Jamie (Amanda) and Colleen (Matthew) and in-laws Fay Morales, Jason Rivera (Hazel), and Maribel Rivera. Additionally, Kevin leaves behind devastated nieces and nephews who will miss their “Uncle Big Fish” immensely. He is also survived by a large and loving extended family, including countless aunts, uncles, and cousins and a wide circle of lifelong friends that will miss him dearly. Kevin was a proud Fordham Prep (’98) graduate, and Local 3 member where he gained lifelong, loyal friends.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at the wake, which will be held on Thursday, March 27th, 2025 from 3 PM to 8 PM at Riverdale-on-Hudson Funeral home.
