Kevin M. McEwen, (the biggest Yankees fan ever) passed away peacefully at St. Luke's Hospital with his loving family by his side on September 24, 2022 after a long battle with cancer omplications. He was 63. He was born December 18, 1958 in Newburgh, he was the son of the late Robert and Beverly McEwen. Kevin was a lifelong Newburgh resident, and was known and loved by so many people. When he was a child, he wanted to be a mail man and his dream came true. He worked for the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier for over 25 years. He took so much pride in his job and even when he became ill, he always hoped to return. Kevin enjoyed his life to the fullest, playing basketball, softball and bowling. He was an avid Yankees fan, most of his wardrobe donning pinstripes and NYs. He was the life of the party and always knew how to make people laugh. He had one of the biggest hearts imaginable and he was always generous and thoughtful even when he was at his lowest. He is survived by his pride and joy, daughter, Danielle McEwen, Son in law, Dr. KimTam Vaugeois as well as, the light of his life, his grandson, Ryan (Hurleyville); his brother, Jeffrey McEwen and sister in law Lisa (New Windsor); his sister Kathy Thompson, brother in law Phil (Rock Tavern), and their children Andrea and husband Daron (son, Hudson), Erica and her husband Eamon; and his companion, Lynn Barr. He was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Beverly McEwen, brother, Scott McEwen, and nephew Phillip Thompson. Kevin gathered friends who became family; Bill Riley, Lenny Swanson, Eddie Benish, Rose and Claude Sculley, Victoria Cazorla and Dawn Sheehan-Morrow. He will be fondly remembered and missed by these people and many more. Family would like to thank the nursing staff at St. Lukes Hospital, John Bova, LSW, Rogia Rosemberg, Palliative Care NP, Kristina Barnhart, Hospice NP, and family friend, Trish Harris, RN for their compassion in Kevin's care. Celebration of Kevin's life and visitation will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Ave., Newburgh.
