About | Kevin Michael O’Halloran, 62, of Middletown, RI died on January 27th, 2021 after a courageous and dignified battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontal-Temporal Dementia (LV-FTD). Born on June 21,1958, the summer solstice, in St. Albans, New York, Kevin lived everyday like it was the longest day of the year. Being in a Navy family, Kevin grew up around the world – from Virginia to North Carolina to Bangkok, Thailand – always close to the ocean. When the O’Halloran’s were stationed in Newport, RI in 1971 it became their permanent home. Growing up, Kevin was an explorer and tinkerer, and he could usually be found adventuring with his always-by-his-side brother Terry. As an early east coast skateboarder, you could find him in empty pools across Aquidneck Island. He once built a Heathkit H8 computer and had a fully equipped dark room by the 8th grade. Kevin attended Bishop Connolly High School (‘76) and graduated from Middletown High School in 1977. It was at the inspiration of Father “Spike” Hanrahan and the encouragement of teacher Ms. Blake that Kevin decided to pursue his bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering at University of Rhode Island. |
