Kevin W. Pool

October 16, 1989 – June 5, 2023

Survived by parents William M. and Nancy B. Pool of Fairport, NY. Also survived by brothers, James (Michelle) and Michael, niece Ryan, nephews Jake, Devin, Dylan and Braeden, and his fur baby, Baya. Also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, Godparents, friends and coworkers.

He was a kind, caring and compassionate person. One of his childhood friends said that Kevin had a beautiful heart and thoughtfulness was one of his most memorable traits. So many of the people who visited him in the hospital said similar things about Kevin. He had many friends and was a good friend in return. Kevin touched many people and will be remembered as a good guy. He loved golf, hockey, paintball, “Jeopardy”, rescue dogs and the Dave Mathews Band.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. 

We want to acknowledge the care givers associated with the ICU and Palliative Care Team at Highland Hospital for the outstanding care provided for Kevin while he was there.  The level of care, compassion and humanity displayed throughout his stay was tremendous and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  The individuals deserving recognition are far too many to list here, but we want you to know how much you are appreciated.  

A Celebration of Life will be held at a date and location to be determined. Please consider a donation in his memory to Puppy Mill Rescue Team, 6558 4th Section Road #105, Brockport, NY 14420

    Dear Pool Family,
    Our heartfelt sympathies from my entire family. Kevin was a fantastic human. He was one Tom Jr’s best friends in high school and they remained close after graduation. Kevin taught archery at Camp Arrowhead to both of my boys Nick and Kailer. May you have peace and comfort during this difficult time. Rest in peace Kevin.

    Kevin’s passing deeply saddens me. One of my fondest memory is walking along the canal with him. He often talked about gratitude. Nancy & Bill rest assured Kevin is gloriously in heaven❤️

    We are so sorry to hear about Kevin. Lucy and I ran into him at work about a month ago and she lit up when she saw him. We have many fond memories of him and Baya from the old place and he will be missed.

    Nancy and Bill, Words cannot express how very sorry I am for your loss. Kevin played paintball with my son and I had the pleasure to get to know him a little during that time. He was such a thoughtful, respectful young man and I’m just so sad to know that he isn’t here with us anymore. Wishing you and your family peace and joy in the memories you have of him.

      Thanks Judy, nothing in the parents handbook prepares you for this. I’m thankful that Nancy and I are back together to deal with this. We can lean on each other and cry together. Kevin is at peace.

    I knew Kevin for a very short period before his passing working at Big Oak together. He was quick to help and make himself a friend as I started. You could always count on Kevin to send you a random text of a pair of shoes or a new putter he just got. He was an awesome guy to meet for the short time we crossed paths. Sending prayers to the Pool family.
