Kevin Dennis Foy, 77, of Homosassa, passed away on Mon., May 12, 2025, at his home. A native of Queens, New York, he was born April 4, 1948, to the late Edwin and Dorothy (Castine) Foy, and was one of three children.

Kevin served his country honorably and proudly as a United States Marine from January 1968 to June 1970, serving more than eleven months in Vietnam, in combat action.

He enjoyed a long 20 year career with the Citrus County School Board as a mechanic at the Lecanto Bus Garage. As a lifelong automotive technician, Kevin loved anything involving cars.
