A Bright Light Gone Too Soon
It is with unimaginable sorrow that we share the passing of Kevin Madrid, a beloved son, brother, and friend from Terrytown, Louisiana, who tragically lost his life on April 19, 2025, at just 10 years old.

In the face of this devastating loss, we come together to remember, honor, and celebrate the life of a boy whose smile could light up a room and whose spirit brought joy to everyone lucky enough to know him.
Kevin may have only been with us for a short time, but in those ten precious years, he left an indelible mark on the hearts of many. Known for his endless curiosity, gentle heart, and bright laughter, Kevin was a child who radiated happiness and kindness. Whether he was riding his bike through the neighborhood, playing video games with his siblings, or sharing silly jokes at the dinner table, Kevin made even the ordinary feel extraordinary.
A Joyful Soul with a Big Heart
From the very beginning, Kevin carried a special kind of light within him. He had an infectious energy that made people feel welcome and loved. His teachers admired his creativity and eagerness to learn, while his friends cherished his loyalty and sense of adventure. He had a unique ability to make others laugh, to comfort those who were sad, and to remind us all of the wonder and innocence of childhood.
To his parents and family, Kevin was their everything. He was the little brother with the big personality, the child who gave the best hugs, and the one who could turn even a tough day into something to smile about. He loved deeply and was deeply loved in return.
