Kevin Brumett

“Since every death diminishes us a little, we grieve – not so much for the death as for ourselves.” Lynn Caine

It is with heaviness of heart that we inform you of Kevin Brumett.  On Thursday, May 28, 2009, Kevin passed away at his home in Newton, MA after a valiant fight with non-small cell lung cancer.  

Kevin Brumett’s story is featured in the Public TV documentary “Breath of Hope.” He was a relentless warrior for lung cancer research and awareness.  Kevin fought hard to allay the anguish and break the stigma associated with lung cancer.  His will to live was inspiring, giving hope to countless patients around the world. 

Kevin, the son of Frederick Brumett and the late Donna (Lonergan) Brumett, was born in Rockville, CT, on November 29, 1977. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Connecticut in 2000, and worked for a pharmaceutical company in Andover, MA. Four years ago, Kevin moved from South Windsor, CT to Boston, MA where he met his future wife, Stephanie Fellingham Brumett.  Kevin enjoyed fishing, music, movies, and spending time with his many friends.

In addition to his wife and father, Kevin leaves his loving sister, Tricia Smith, her husband, Matthew, and their daughter Kierian of Port St. Lucie, FL. Also surviving is his father’s fiancee Cathy Rossetti and her children, Christina, Cynthia, Cassandra and Richard Rossetti. Kevin also leaves an innumerable amount of friends who were with him every step of the way, walking (and sometimes running) beside him.

Kevin Brumett was 31 years old.
