Kevin P. Cleary passed away on November 1, 2024. He was 61 years old.

Born in Rockaway Beach, NY, to parents Gerard and Fran Cleary, Kevin grew up in Rockaway Beach. His family settled in Mendham in 1971 where he later graduated from Delbarton School in 1981. It was in Mendham where Kevin met the love of his life Trish Cleary and the two were able to celebrate 39 years of marriage together.

Kevin was a Broker for the New York Stock Exchange where he worked on the trading floor alongside his father Gerard and was a long-time volunteer for Brookside Engine Company #1. In both roles, Kevin made lasting friendships that he cherished through his final days. Outside of work his favorite pastimes included spending his summers with family at the beach in LBI, his daily conversations with both old and new friends, the moments cherished as a proud grandfather, and of course the passion he shared for politics and his country.

Kevin is predeceased by his parents Gerard and Fran Cleary. He is survived by his wife Trish Cleary of Naples, FL, sister Kathleen (Michael) Salerno of Mendham, NJ, one daughter Maegan Cleary and her husband Ryan Hanehan of Jersey City, NJ, one son Daniel Cleary and fiancée Jenna Morse of Hopatcong, NJ, two beloved granddaughters Mayzie Cleary and Brinley Cleary of Hopatcong, NJ, and numerous nieces and nephews.
