On Tuesday, July 7, 2009, Kevin Hahn died after a five year battle with a very rare form of cancer. The following is his obituary:
Samuel Kevin Hahn, age 46, of Wilton, CT, on July 7, 2009. Beloved husband of Remi (Pastore) Hahn; loving father of Olivia Nicole and George Caspari; son of Bill and Norma Hahn of Pittsburgh, PA; brother of Scott of Pittsburgh, PA, Linda Fazzini (David) of Phoenixville, PA, and Bryan (Kris) of Harrisburg, PA; much loved uncle of 9 nieces and nephews.
Born in Frankfurt, Germany, on April 4, 1963, while his father was serving as a doctor in the U.S. Army. Kevin was raised in Pittsburgh, PA, and graduated from Colgate University in 1986.
Kevin’s childhood in Pittsburgh, where he avidly followed the Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins, fueled in him a passion for sports that would later propel him into a career in sports marketing, as Research Director Professional Sports Publications.
Sports guided other aspects of Kevin’s life as well. He had a lifelong love of skiing and tennis, among others, and his love of sport combined with his extraordinary generosity, intelligence, and patience made him a natural coach: among his greatest joys was coaching his daughter’s soccer team.
Ever upbeat and selfless, Kevin battled cancer for five years while maintaining and frequently hosting his especially wide circle of friends from high school, college, and business—none of whom he allowed to fall away or to lose touch with one another—all while taking wonderful care of his wife and children, even as they cared for him. He will be greatly missed.
Service at 11:00am, Saturday July 11th, St. Matthews Episcopal Church, Wilton, followed by a reception at the church. The Hahn family requests that, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent in honor of Kevin Hahn to the following:
