Kevin Croonquist Obituary

We still talk about the times Cole and Kevin had growing up living down the street from one another. Kevin was a part of our family and always will be.

We think of Kevin often, he made a big impact in our family being that it was his younger years that we were around Kevin and his beautiful family. My son Cole and Kevin were inseparable those years, and we couldn’t have asked for a better friend for Cole than Kevin. We still remember on Christmas that he would run down the street and walk in with that big grin on his face, saying: “What did you get Cole, what did you get? God bless Annie, Scott, and the family. Kevin will always be remembered

I think of Kevin very often. He will surely be missed again at Attean but I know we all still have him there with us. Thinking of you all❤

Kevin was a friend of mine for almost all of my childhood. I remember football games with him, nights around the block on center street, haunted hay rides, and most importantly I remember the day he moved away to Virginia. The day he moved away he gave me a Buddha he bought with his own dime, and yes at 10 years old this was a feat. It shows how thoughtful and rich Kevin’s feelings were towards his friends. This event is overtly tragic and sudden: a testament to how unfair life can be. Unfortunately, life will never be fair, and it takes the lives of good people far too often. Kevin will live in the hearts of me and my childhood friends forever. Rest easy buddy, I’ll see you soon. -Drew

With our most deepest sympathies for all of you during this very difficult time. We remember Kevin from Lincoln school and his most infectious smile and warm personality. We will keep you in our prayers

We will all be forever broken.
We love you Kevin & you will forever be in our prayers & thoughts.

I am so truly sorry for this devastating loss. Kevin was in my history class, and I remember that smile and sweet kindness clearly. Our family is praying for peace and comfort for all of you.

Nikki, Ryan, and Thomas Shrader

Scott, Anne, Keith, Kelly, & Kyle,

Words can never express the sorrow we feel for all of you at this time. But my memories of Kevin since the children were born are most abundant. It was my favorite past time to babysit this crew of four! From early on, it was evident that Kevin was special. He was sweet, adorable, sensitive & kind as a boy. And as a young man, he continued to carry those qualities to adulthood. Kevin always shined his light on those around him, and losing him at this young age will impact so many of us. I look forward to reminiscing with all of you when we see you. I am so sorry for your loss. Each of you loved Kevin beyond words, and the pain of losing him is horrible. Together we will cushion the horrible as best we can. Together we will hold hope for you when you cannot hold it for yourselves. Loving you with all our hearts. Keeping you in our daily prayers. Donna and Deb

Our deepest condolences to the entire family. We had the pleasure of working with Kevin in Jackman at our maple farm. He was a positive, bright & kind young man always eager to learn. His giggle was a gift we heard on a daily basis. Kevin will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Sending our love and prayers.

Prayers to Anne and her family at this difficult time. Kisses and Hugs for everyone! Love ya Anne.

Anne, Scott, Keith, Kyle and Kelly,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathy to all.

My sincerest condolences to Kevin´s family. I remember seeing Kevin as a child at the allergy center and he had the cutest smile. He was a true sweetheart.

Heartfelt prayers for strength and courage from this day forward.
My deepest condolences.

Kevin worked for us as a assistant/trainee carpenter at Halcyon Contracting LLC for two spells in 2018 and 2019. We remember him fondly for his cheerful disposition and enthusiasm. At that time he talked to me about joining the Marine Corps and it was clear that whatever path he chose in life he was looking for adventure. It is heartbreaking that his journey has ended so young. It is abundantly clear from knowing him and reading all the other messages here that he was deeply loved and touched the hearts of many. We send our sincere condolences to all his family and friends.
Justin.

Anne and Family, We are heartbroken for all of you. You are in our prayers and thoughts now and into the weeks and months ahead. May God give you peace, love, and strength to manage your way through this terrible time. Call on us for help with anything you need. Much love to all of you. May Kevin Rest In Peace. Kelly and Landon

Annie and Scott, I am so sorry for your loss. This news made my heart ache and words can not express how sorry I am. Not sure if you remember us from Pompton Lakes but we remember you all and I remember Kevin quite well. The kids all were close at that time. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. All our love The Flynn Family

When I think of Kevin-I see his smile and those dimples. I was lucky enough to know him at Sutherland. He was kind to everyone and always went out of his way to help the underdog...be it in a game in class, an event at field day, or just around school...he would always help if he thought someone needed it. He lit up the room and all the kids gravitated to him. Rest easy, Kevin. You are so loved.

Can´t even express in words how saddened I am. Croonquist family, my thoughts are with you all now and I know that his infectious joy will live forever in you all! My time with Kevin was short, but was nothing short of meaningful. He had the best group of friends and I will forever cherish my fun memories with him and them all (save us a round of rock band up there, my friend!).
His personality was so filled with love and laughter, I know he put a smile on everyone who knew him.
May he rest in peace and love.

I never had the privilege of meeting Kevin, but if he is anything like Kyle, I know that heaven gained a good one. May he Rest In Peace and watch over your family and friends for the rest of your earthly days, until you are reunited once again. Let us never forget how fragile and short life is.

I see his smile, I hear his laughter, I see Tanner and Kevin running around the house, in and out of the pool, biking around town. Our fondest memories are with Kevin and his family. We will forever cherish our those moments together. We are blessed to have know him and share precious memories together.

Scott, Anne, Keith, Kelly, and Kyle.

Sending our condolences to all of you. Kevin had a special place in my heart, you all do. I remember when we took a road trip to Cabelas in PA for the day and the first time we took him duck hunting in Secaucus NJ on New Years Day (Thank you for trusting me). He slept over that night and I remember him telling me at 3am "I haven't slept, I´m so excited". Those were his candy stores. We always stayed in touch when he moved to Virginia, especially during hunting season. The way I loved him is the way he loved my son, his cousin Johnny. He passed it right back. It´s because of you, I became the father I am today. Can´t wait to bring Johnny hunting and tell him this is where I took you for the first time. We will miss you, I most certainly will. I´ll always remember you and always love you. My little buddy forever

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Kevin. Please know you and your family have my deepest sympathy. Kevin was one of my good friends growing up. All the times of us fishing, bike riding, and just hanging out with each other will never be forgotten.

Cole Harriet

Noah, Sutton, Marissa and me send our heartfelt prayers and support to Annie, and all the kids. We have a lot of FL memories we will hold forever. Please know we are praying for you and will be there for you, if/when you might need anything. Just reach out now or later, we are here. Karen, Noah, Sutton, and Marissa.

I was lucky enough to work with Kevin at Sutherland. I will always remember Kevin smiling and laughing. He was friendly, outgoing and well liked. Please know how you all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Anne,
Sending my heart felt condolences to you and your beautiful family. I am so very sorry. What an amazing young man Kevin was. We are praying for all of you.

Dearest Anne and Scott
Please accept our sincere condolences and sympathies. Our thoughts are with your entire family.

Scott,
My heart goes out to you and your family at this challenging time. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Anne, my heart goes out to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Scott,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember you telling me that Kevin was traveling across country with his partner. You were so proud of his "joie de vivre". And as a non-risk taker, I admired Kevin so much for living his best life. To me that is reflective of what a wonderful father you are. As Father's Day approaches, I hope you take comfort in knowing that you gave your son tremendous gifts as his parent. You were not only supportive, but were enthusiastic about his life choices. That matters.

With prayers and love, Alicia

Kevin was a wonderful, kind hearted and loving kid. I will always remember his beautiful smile, his love of always riding his bike and being outside. He had a great sense of humor and I will remember him with that beautiful smile and those dimples! With my most sincerest sympathy for your families loss, but with the fondest memories I will cherish him always and his close friendship to my son Drew and again I will always remember him happy, funny and kind. I pray for all of you in this difficult time that you find peace thru this and remember him in the most loving light and great memories! I'm so sorry !!!
The Flynn Family

Croonquist Family,
My heart aches for you. I'm so very sorry for the sudden loss of your son, Kevin. I hope and pray that your minds will be inundated with the happiest of memories together to support each other in this time of grief and sadness. Peace be with you all.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. His spirit will forever live on and continue to look over his loved ones.

The SteelDrivers - Where Rainbows Never Die

Kevin was a very special kind and loving person. We we´re fortunate to get to know him through visits at our Maine cabin and here in Rhode Island when he visited with our granddaughter, Becca. Our hearts our broken as we embrace all of Kevin´s family and Becca with our love and God´s peace.

My words are lost but my mind is flooded with thoughts & memories of you all. Whitney Ave will forever be a place of love with forever memories of love and laughter. Thinking of Kevin & you all. All my love, Christine.

Friend of Becca´s familyforyears

Friend of Becca´s family for years on Attean! Established a connection with Kevin , both of us from Va. He was always so kind to us! Whata smile! May your memories comfort you!

I remember Kevin as a kind, sweet young man, and I was always cheered by his presence in my classroom. I hope that happy memories and the love of friends and family support and sustain you.

Kevin was a classmate of my daughter Hayley. His smile was infectious and he was the most polite young man. My deepest condolences to your family during this time and the days, weeks and months to come. Prayers lifted for you all. May you feel comfort and peace from the Lord.

Annie, Scott, and family. No words can express the pain a parent is feeling when you lose your child. Embrace the memories of Kevin, celebrate his life, and we pray that you find strength and guidance from the love of your family and friends.

Our deepest condolences and most sincere prayers for strength during this time. Kevin was a sweet, funny, engaging young man. Granted, we knew him through football and Pop Warner and he was an aggressive defensive player. We wish We´d known him more as a young man. His impact on us was great and he was a sweet, funny teen. Blessings to you all and all our love.

I am so sorry for your loss. We had the good fortune of meeting Kevin two summers ago at Attean lake in Maine. He had a smile that would make anyone´s day. We will be praying peace for your family during this time. May God bless you.

Scott Anne Kyle Kelly and Keith,
My sincere condolences. Kevin was a mischievous and colorful kid. I enjoyed fishing with him when he came with Nolan. I will also remember the many sporting events/ sleep overs during the high school years. He will be missed. To Kelly, Kyle and Keith this will take time , I know because I lost my brother at an early age. Again my deepest sympathy.

Dave

Scott and Family,
I hope the following brings some level of comfort at this difficult time. With my deepest sympathy, Liz Kmiecik:

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die."

(Mary Elizabeth Frye)

Scott and Family,
I hope the following brings some level of comfort at this difficult time. With my deepest sympathy, Liz Kmiecik:

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die."

Dear Croonquist family
I am very saddened for the loss of your Kevin. I met Kevin several years ago at Attean. I learned he was from the Charlottesville area and my home is in Midlothian. I have lived on Attean for many years. Kevin would light up any room with his big sweet smile and he was so kind to me. May He Rest In Peace, prayers for all.

Scott,

My heart goes out to you and your family with the loss of your son. I am extremely hopeful at some point you and the family can find comfort in the great memories you all share of Kevin. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

My condolences,
Kristin Spurr

Your Holy Name Nursing School family Loves you and we are there for you. I am so sorry for this unimaginable loss.
Much Love

Hi Anne, you don’t know me but I knew Kevin. My son Samuel met Kevin at Outward bound. They shared precious time for three months and they became good friends. We have the pleasure to meet him few years ago when he came to visit us in New Hampshire. We have a good impression of him. He was kind, polite, always with a smile on his face. He told us that he wanted to be a police and we encourage him to find his passion. Then last year he visited us again. He was living g in MA. He told us how happy he was with his girlfriend and where they lived. He was a very gentle soul and we loved him very much. The news of his passing has broken our heart with sorrow and disbelief that beautiful Kevin is not longer with us. Please, receive my most deeply condolences of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time. May Kevin Rest In Peace and I pray We will see him again in heaven. God blessed Adriana, Samuel, Samuel III.

Scott,

I´m so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. It´s not easy for sure but I hope you find comfort at some point and celebrate all the memories that can´t be taken away. Prayers are with you.

Condolences,
Kristin Spurr

Dear family, we are so unbelievably sorry for your loss. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

It is not normal for us mothers to have our children to go before we do, and it is so easy for us to question God "why did you take my baby?"

Anne, I can not begin to imagine the pain and heart break that you are feeling.
I want you to know that you have so many people praying for you and praying that God gives you the strength that you need.

My heart is with all of your family. Dallas

Ann,
I cannot even put into words how heartbroken I am for you. I enjoyed all the times we talked about your children and how much you loved them. Please know that we are thinking of you at this time and are here if you need anything. Houser and I will keep your family in our prayers.
Love to all,
