Kevin’s passion for helping others, especially through medicine and technology, was clear at a young age. This passion ultimately led him to pursue a healthcare career. After graduating from the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program at LaGuardia Community College, Kevin worked as an EMT in New York City. In January 2022, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, achieving the rank of Petty Officer 3rd Class (HM3) as a Hospital Corpsman stationed at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Okinawa, Japan. In this role, he played an essential part of the medical team, offering direct patient care to service members and their families. He had plans to further his education in biomedical science and physical therapy. Kevin had a passion for music, cars, motorcycles, playing video games, and fashion. He leaves behind his family, friends, and colleagues who will forever cherish his memory and uphold his legacy.

Scott was a loving son, brother, and father who proudly served in the U. S. Navy.  He was easy-going and lived life to the fullest.  Scott began his Naval career in 2004 and served on the USS Enterprise and the USS Harry S. Truman.  He worked diligently to reach his goal as an officer.  Scott was an avid reader, a computer expert, and enjoyed playing his guitar. He especially loved his visits back home to southern Louisiana where he relished being with family and eating Cajun cuisine.

He will be forever loved and missed.

My son was a beloved big brother and sibling. He leaves behind his brother and two sisters who  looked up to him.  Justin aka “J.J” was the role model for his siblings.  Being a single mother of four, J.J set the bar for his siblings. As an example, when he said he wanted to join the Navy because he “needed that discipline on how to be a man”, I couldn’t have been prouder of my son and his service!  We as his family, honor him today and forever; he will never be forgotten! We love you J.J, and you are always missed.
