McGarry, Kevin Joseph

age 63, peacefully passed away May 1, 2025 at his home in Delano from natural causes. He was born Dec. 13, 1961 in Crookston, Minn., to William Sr. and Maxine (Munn) McGarry, the fifth of their eight children. The family later lived in Appleton, Minn., for seven years, and then moved to Chaska where Kevin graduated from high school. Kevin’s career was spent in restaurant and food service management. He took pride in his work and was a good boss, often taking holiday shifts so others could be home with their families. He especially enjoyed his current position as patient services manager at M Health Fairview’s west bank hospital where he found meaning in serving patients and their families. Kevin had a quick wit and a soft heart. He enjoyed golfing but above all he loved time spent with his kids.

Kevin was preceded in death by his daughter Ashley Rose, and his father, William Sr., both of whom he missed so much. He is survived by this children Dylan (Jeanne), Ryan (Anna), and Kelsey (Dominic Bona), Bloomington. He is also survived by his mother, Maxine, and his sisters and brothers: Mary (Rick) Woitte, Anne, Bill Jr. (Jeanie), Deb, Jennifer (Tom) McLarnan, Dan (Braden), Kitty (Jeff) Hietala. He will be missed by many nieces and nephews who enjoyed his often-hilarious company at family gatherings, and by many McGarry and Munn cousins who loved him dearly.
