With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Kevin M. Cummings, 66, on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at Portsmouth Regional Hospital. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Kevin was the cherished son of the late John and Florence (McCart Read Obituary
I woke up today to this post I was going to wish Kevy a HB and was just grief stricken to find he passed. As a kid I always looked forward to visiting my cousins and he and I would wander away for some hijinks. To my cousins Brian, Timmy and Jay I send hugs and love for your loss of such a joyous man.

Kevin, my friend since sixth grade, was famous for falling through the girls bathroom ceiling as he crawled over from the boys room. The boys that were there laughed so hard they were purple, and he was thence known as Ceiling Kevin. I remember him as an ever-giggling twelve-year-old in his catholic school uniform and was one of the first boys I ever kissed. In high school we hid under the bridge and smoked and laughed. I have no memory of him without his grin on his face. Everybody liked Kevin. After many years, we found each other through social media and I was just so, so happy to see him, I was instantly flooded with warmth and love and memories. Time and distance don't matter when you love a friend. Thank you for all the laughing, Kevin. You were a positive in my life. Much love to all the family and those who loved and were touched by Kevin.
I am so sorry to hear of Kevin’s passing. Although not related by blood, Kevin and his brothers were my “cousins”, my closest childhood relatives and the source of many wonderful childhood memories. One that comes to mind is ringing in the New Year—probably in the mid-1960s-- at their house on Central Avenue in West Haven. We took pots and pans from Aunt Florence’s kitchen and paraded up and down the street clanging them together to make as much noise as possible.
Sending sympathy and love to the whole Cummings family. Rest in peace cousin Kevin.
I will greatly miss you, Kev. You would say that when I brought your meals everyday, it was the best part of your day. I'll miss your loving, gentle soul my friend. You truly touched my life.

I am so saddened to get this news. Kevin and I spent a lot of quality time together back in the 80's working at a cafe in Downtown Crossing in Boston. We had lots of laughs and good times. He was a very patient man, caring and so reliable~ The world is a less lovely place with his absence. I'll miss you Kev, and I promise to swirl the water before poaching my eggs! Thank you dear man! PS Somewhere I have a terrific photo of us (from the Boston Globe!) I'll post it here when I find it and I'm sending love to everyone blessed to be his friend.

I had the pleasure of being a neighbor first then a dear friend to Kevin. Countless great memories on the lake and camping in his beautiful yard. Kevin was a friend to almost anyone who met him and will surely be missed by many.
