Kevin M. Walsh
1989 - 2020
Obituary of Kevin M. Walsh
Age 31, of Channahon, IL, and formerly Elwood, IL passed from this life Monday, September 21, 2020, with family at his side at the Joliet Area Community Hospice Home.
Kevin was born April 27, 1989, to Karen (nee Alton) and Martin Walsh. He attended Elwood grade schools and graduated with the class of 2007 from Joliet Central High School. He received a Bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL, and his Masters from Texas A&M University.
Kevin lived life with passion and precision, making many friends along the way, including his best friend, Krystal Buchenau whom he married October 21, 2017. Another special day for Kevin was September 5th of last year when he and Krystal were blessed with their beloved son Colton M. Walsh. Colton has been and will be surrounded by love, especially in their home, despite the obvious division during baseball seasons past. Two things are for certain, though; Colton will be allowed to pick his team as he grows older, and most importantly, he’ll know all there is to know about his loving and devoted father.
In addition to Krystal, Colton, and the faithful family hounds, Tuck & Zoey, Kevin is also survived by his parents, Karen and Marty; brother, Michael; sister, Amy (Jimmy) Vega; nephews, Anthony and Nicholas; mother and father-in-law, Mary and Vincent Buchenau; brother-in-law, Aaron Buchenau; his loyal canines, Tuck & Zoey and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins as well as many friends.
Preceded in death by his grandparents, “G-Ma” Theresa and Gerald Alton; Alice and Robert Walsh, Sr.; uncles, Robert Jr., Lawrence, and Edward Walsh. He will also be welcomed by Duke.
The proprietor of KMW Design + Inspections, Kevin, a talented architect, was also Buildings Manager for the Village of Downers Grove, IL.
He loved to travel and explore, hunt, and fish and of course following the White Sox. Another favorite, indoctrinated from birth, was being a huge fan of John Wayne.
Although Kevin’s time here was much too brief, his loved ones take solace in knowing he lived his life to the fullest. Until we meet again…
All friends and relatives are invited to a Memorial Visitation on Saturday, September 26, 2020, from 1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the Fred C. Dames Funeral Home 3200 Black Rd. (at Essington Rd.) Joliet. Facemasks are required and distancing as well as capacity restrictions will be observed. Services will be held privately for the family. Cremation rites have been accorded.
