Kevin J. Teles
Kevin J. Teles, 55, of Hellertown passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Sunday, April 14, 2024 at St. Luke's VNA Hospice House in Lower Saucon Twp. He was born in Bethlehem on March 31, 1969 to Alfredo Teles of Hellertown and the late Donna (Morawski) Teles who passed away September 14, 2022. Kevin managed fresh foods operations, merchandising, and sales & marketing for Giant, Acme, Super Fresh, and other major supermarkets. He owned a small produce shop in the late 90's and was also a certified contractor in the water gardening industry. As founder and owner of KT2 Creations, Kevin took great pride in transforming ordinary backyards into beautifully designed landscapes with unique water features. He was a man of faith and devout member of St. Theresa's Roman Catholic Church, Hellertown. Kevin was also an avid sports fan, passionate about his Denver Broncos and New York Yankees, and an ardent athlete who devoted much of his time to weight training, running, swimming, and cycling. He competed in countless competitions in his
40's and 50's including multiple triathlons, marathons, and 3 Ironman races. Most of all, Kevin especially cherished spending time with his daughter, family, and friends enjoying good food and sharing laughs while reminiscing with “acute” detail.
