Kevin J. Doherty, 56, had his life taken from us suddenly on August 28, 2025, in Shrewsbury. Born in Brighton on September 28, 1968, he was the cherished son of Michael “Joe” Doherty of Framingham and the late Maureen (Carney) Doherty.
Kevin spent his childhood in Framingham and graduated from Marian High School in 1986. He completed postgraduate studies at Bridgton Academy and earned his degree in Geography from Fitchburg State University in 1997. For many years, he was a dedicated employee of Jarvis Appliance in Wellesley.
A man of many joys, Kevin was an avid music lover, passionate golfer, and enthusiastic hockey fan. Known for his giving spirit, he was a friend to all and truly the life of every gathering—bringing laughter and chatter wherever he went.
He is survived by his devoted fiancé, Sarah Schofield; his beloved children, Grace (17) and Rose (14) of Acton, and Jack (6) of Shrewsbury; his father, Michael “Joe” Doherty of Framingham; his brother Brian, sister-in-law Lauren, and their children Emma, Abigail, and Charlotte of Waltham.
Family and friends are invited to honor and remember Kevin’s life by gathering for visiting hours in the McCarthy, McKinney & Lawler Funeral Home, 11 Lincoln St. Framingham on Friday, September 5th from 4-8PM. His Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday morning in St. George Church, 74 School St. Framingham at 10 o’clock. Interment will be private.
