“The mom group, family, and the surfer guys helped me get through. They helped me when I needed help. They were there just to be there, and they were people that were around when Kevin was around,” Katherine said. Their community was a big part of Katherine’s journey after Kevin’s death. She was able to have support and not go through her grief alone. “Everyone’s a family,” Katherine said. On June 4, 2023, over a year after Kevin’s passing, Katherine decided to have a paddle out to remember Kevin’s life at Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach.
