He was born in Rye and was predeceased by his parents as well as his brother Peter J. Hogan. Kevin graduated from Rye High School and CW Post College on Long Island.

Kevin made caring and compassion for other human beings the centerpiece of his life. He always found a way to say kind, encouraging and thoughtful things to everyone—including people he barely knew. He was especially considerate of those less fortunate and he would go to great lengths to find a special “something” that would lighten someone’s burden or make their day just a little bit brighter.

Throughout his life, Kevin was deeply involved with theater and the performing arts. Kevin lived in several wonderful Florida locations including Anna Maria Island, Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach and Winter Park prior to making Vero Beach his home in 2000. He cherished his home, neighbors and many dear friends. Beyond “It’s all good” and “I am a Happy Camper,” the saying below was one of Kevin’s favorites

Good friends are like stars.You don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there...

Kevin was employed for over 40 years as a graphic designer, writer and editor for Noroton Publishing Company in Darien.

He is survived by his niece, Debbie Hogan of Houston, and nephew, Douglas Hogan of Dallas, as well as many friends and additional family members.
