Kevin’s unexpected departure has left colleagues, friends, and family heartbroken. Known for his compassion, professionalism, and steady presence in times of crisis, he was more than just a first responder—he was a friend, a mentor, and a true servant to his community.
A Life of Service
Kevin’s career as a paramedic with Life Net’s air medical team placed him at the center of life-saving missions, from emergency rescues in rural areas to critical transfers for patients in need of urgent care. His work in the skies was not only technical and precise but deeply human—he carried with him an unwavering empathy for those he served.
Colleagues recall Kevin as someone who could balance the gravity of his work with a calming presence. In the most urgent of situations, when seconds meant everything, he was someone others could rely on without hesitation.
A Brother in EMS
For those who served alongside Kevin, he was more than a coworker—he was family. The bond shared within the EMS community is unlike any other, forged through long nights, high-pressure calls, and the quiet moments after a life is saved or a tragedy unfolds.
One fellow EMS provider shared:
“It’s not lost on anyone in this field how fragile life is. We dedicate ourselves to protecting and saving others, rarely thinking that it might one day be one of our own. That’s what makes this loss so hard. Kevin was one of the best among us.”
Though Kevin was not a direct member of the Edinburg Emergency Squad, his work with agencies across Saratoga County made him a familiar and trusted presence. Crews in the field and from the air worked alongside him countless times, building bonds that now make his loss all the more deeply felt.

His legacy is written not only in medical charts but in the grateful hearts of people who may never know the face behind the uniform that rushed to their aid.
Those who knew him personally speak of a man who was kind-hearted, generous, and unwaveringly dedicated to the people around him. He was described as someone who lived his values every day—compassion, courage, and community.
