Kevin “Kev” Michael Harrison, age 49, passed away recently after a decline in health. He was born in San Francisco on October 1, 1967, the son of William H. Harrison and Carol L. Harrison.

Kevin is survived by his father William Harrison and stepmother Kathryn Pennypacker; his mother Carol Harrison (Erickson) and her husband Donald Tanner; his brother Brian Harrison and his wife Eddy Salazar and their children Sophia and Michael; his sister Paula McCarroll and her husband David McCarroll and their children Abigail, William and Noelle; his stepsister Caroline Cincotta and her husband Forest Kaser and their daughter Nora; his stepsister Elizabeth McBride and her husband Andrew McBride and their children Kate, Sarah and Charlotte; his Aunt Laurel Erickson and cousin Matt Erickson, and his loving aunts, uncles and many cousins (including many relatives in Ireland) and lifelong friends. He was preceded in death by his grandfather Joe Harrison and grandmother Margaret Harrison, grandparents Robert and Betty Erickson, Uncle David Erickson, and cousin Dan Erickson.

Kevin grew up in Marin. As a youth, he was an outstanding athlete who excelled in all sports and lettered in football and baseball before graduating from Terra Linda High School in San Rafael as a member of the class of 1985. He went on to the University of California at San Diego where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Econometrics in 1989before earning a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of San Francisco in 1992.Kevin then pursued a career in banking and corporate lending and became a branch manager at Mechanics Bank. His kindness, integrity, knowledge of the business and analytical skills were qualities that contributed to his success. In the early 2000’s, Kevin transitioned into affordable housing and property management and worked for five years at Santa Fe Associates until prior to his death.

Kevin was a special and wonderful person and had the endearing quality of being a great listener to his many family members and close friends who surrounded him, and who he loved unconditionally. When you were talking with Kevin, he made you feel like you were the only person in the room. His kind and gentle character, easy laughter and quick witted sense of humor made him a joy to be around. Above all, Kevin valued family and never forgot a family member’s birthday or important event.

Kev was a food connoisseur who loved a good BBQ, home-cooked meal or a night out with friends or family at a nice restaurant. He enjoyed any activity that involved a Giants or 49ers game, and loved spending time with his close cousins Cindy, Steve, Karen and Jennine and his aunt Mary Passanisi. He also loved music, was an avid reader, and among his hobbies had extensive coin and stamp collections.

Kevin will be dearly missed, and cousin time will not be the same without him.
