Kevin P. McCarthy, aged 63, passed away at his home peacefully on August 26, 2026.

Born March 16, 1963 in Ellenville, NY, Kevin had a great love for hunting, sports, family, and friends, and in recent years, a passion for golfing. He was a strongly dedicated man to caring about others, helping people, and doing the best he could at any job. Kevin was recognized for his athletic achievements in high school wrestling and football, such as carrying the title of football MVP in 1979.

Kevin’s lifelong interest of hunting gained him status in Boone and Crockett Club, Pope and Young, NYS Big Buck Club, and two Fair Chase Magazine editions, of which he was immensely proud.

He was a man that couldn’t sit still. After years of masonry work and retiring as a correctional officer, after 31 years, from the NYS Department of Corrections he moved onto a managerial position in retail. He then ended his work career at Soyuzivka Heritage Center and became Sergeant at Arms for the Ukrainian National Association, which he was deeply honored to be a part of, before full retirement.

Kevin was a strong believer in Christ and the Word, a very friendly and social person, and a well-known and well-liked member of the community. He always wanted to chat with those he ran into, never forgetting a name or face, and always had a smile and a “Bless you” to share.

For those who knew Kevin, either as a family member, a coworker, a friend, or a little league coach, he taught us how to take pride in a hard day’s work, to never take life too seriously and that every accomplishment is a reason to celebrate.

Kevin will be greatly missed by all family and friends. Predeceased by his parents Ronald G. and Kathleen P. McCarthy, sisters Sue and Peggy, brother Ronald J. He is survived by his wife Annastasia, of 38 years, daughter Victoria, son Ronald, son-in-law Alex, granddaughter Everleigh Sage, sister Ruby and brother-in-law Rick, sister Cindy, and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.

Visitation will be held Wednesday, September 2, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Loucks Funeral Home in Ellenville, NY. Funeral services will be held Thursday, September 3, at 11 a.m. at Loucks Funeral Home, and final ceremony and an interment at Fantinekill Cemetery in Ellenville, NY.

Floral arrangements may be sent to Loucks Funeral Home.
