Born February 17, 1968, in Poughkeepsie, NY, to the late Lawrence W. and Minnie D. (Rhodes) Schwartz, Kevin was a graduate of Highland High School and Lincoln Technical School, where he specialized in drafting and CAD design. He went on to build a career marked by steady dedication and responsibility, serving for many years as a Construction Project Manager before retiring in 2015.
A proud United States Army Veteran, Kevin served from 1986 to 1994, including two years in Germany. His service was recognized with the Army and Overseas Service Ribbon, along with many marksmanship badges—reflections of his commitment and discipline during his years in uniform.
Kevin is survived by his wife, Donna Osmun Schwartz; his children, Alexander Schwartz (wife Taylor), Noelle Schwartz and Emma Schwartz; his brother, Lawrence Schwartz; his sister, Kimberly Schwartz; and several nieces and nephews.
Throughout the early 2000’s Kevin gave his time generously, serving as President of Bangor Youth Football and Cheering and as a coach for both Bangor Youth Football and Wrestling. In 2022 his life changed as he battled valiantly to win the title of heart and kidney transplant survivor. Through every obstacle, Kevin was a steady and devoted father, a support pillar for his community, and an animal lover whose warmth and presence were felt easily and remembered deeply.
Funeral services will be held Saturday November 14, 2026 at 5 pm from the Smith-McCracken Funeral home 63 High St Newton, NJ 07860. Visitation will be held from 2 pm to 5pm at the funeral home.
