BARNEGAT LIGHT, NJ - Kip Wasilewski, 60, of Barnegat Light, NJ, passed away suddenly on October 27, 2020. Kip was born in Passaic, NJ, on August 25, 1960. He attended Southern Regional High School where he played basketball. He graduated in 1978 and continued on to Rider University on a basketball scholarship, graduating in 1983 with a BA degree.
He had a long career in the marine electronic business. His last employment was with Maretron from 2008 to 2020 where he was most recently Director of Sales.
He left an indelible mark in the marine industry where he was well-respected by all who knew him.
Kip was very active and loved being outdoors. Boating, fishing, road and mountain biking, motorcycle riding and four-wheeling in his Jeep were among his favorite activities.
He was a beautiful soul with a calm demeanor and a dry sense of humor. As his niece, Lauren Larson, said, “He had a big heart, big mind and he left us with big shoes to fill.”
He was happy with who he was and where he was in life. He always said, “I never look in the rearview mirror; I always look forward.”
He’ll never be forgotten. His memories will live on in our hearts forever. We will love and miss him always.
Kip was predeceased by his father, Stanley, in 1995.
He leaves behind his wife of 28 years, Betty Ann; his brother Bill (Gwen); sisters Cindy (Alan) and Susan; his mother, Marilyn; his nieces Lauren (Tyler) and their children, Finley, Sloan and Parker; Ali (Rayna); his nephews Dan (Jillian); Will; Max (Jackie) and their children Kenzie and Cleo; his mother-in-law, Betty; his sister-in-law, Diane, and brother-in-law, Vito, along with many friends who will miss him.
