With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of Kevin Forcinito, an exceptional wrestler, a kind soul, and a light to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Kevin’s passing has left a hole in the hearts of his family, friends, and all those who witnessed his talent and warmth. Though he may no longer be with us, the impact he made on those around him will last forever.
Growing up, Kevin was not just a skilled wrestler; he was a bright, vibrant young man who radiated positivity wherever he went. His determination, strength, and commitment to the sport of wrestling were unmatched. Watching him in action, you could see the heart and passion he poured into every match. But beyond the mat, Kevin was known for his kindness, his humility, and his ability to connect with others. He made everyone around him feel seen and valued.
For those of us who were lucky enough to watch him grow up, we’ll always remember those moments before his matches—Kevin looking up at the bin of oranges and Gatorade, a small gesture that became part of the ritual that defined his focus and preparation. Jon Jon is having a hard time understanding this loss. He’s hurting in silence, struggling to make sense of why someone so full of promise and life is gone so soon. As a mother, it breaks my heart to see him in pain. We’re all struggling, Kevin, but we take comfort in knowing you’re at peace now.
You weren’t just an amazing athlete, Kevin—you were a friend, a son, and a light in every room you entered. Your infectious smile, your huge hazel eyes, and your passion for music were just a few of the many things that made you so special. You inspired so many people with your energy, your creativity, and your generosity of spirit. You lived life fully, with a heart as big as your talent.
This loss is especially difficult for Mrs. Rodriguez and our entire family. Kevin, you were a part of us. You were a friend to all who knew you, and your absence leaves a deep ache in our hearts. But we will hold on to the memories of the joy and love you gave so freely. You’ll always be with us, in every match, in every laugh, in every moment we shared.
