Kevin Michael Siford passed away on January 10, 2026, at the age of 42. Born on February 12, 1983, in
Baltimore, Maryland, he lived a life marked by love, laughter, and thought. If you knew Kevin, you knew of his beautifully kind and adventurous spirit. You knew how incredibly talented he was in music, mechanics and his culinary skills.
Kevin's passion for life was evident in everything he did. Beginning as a child he learned a love of cars from his father helping him rebuild a '23 Ford T-Bucket. He discovered music while learning piano. In high school he learned how to play the stock market. He went on to receive a Music Production degree from Full Sail, in Orlando, Florida. Later, he decided to shift gears and enter the world of fine dining. He was a chef in restaurants throughout the country from Lake Tahoe to Key West. But his true passion was always music, taking him to countless festivals and concerts across the country. In particular, the bands Phish and The Grateful Dead provided him with a true sense of community and belonging. He was a loving husband to his wife, Andrea Marie Siford, sharing in their love of music and fine food. As a son to Dennis Michael Siford and Sandra Ann Siford, Kevin brought laughter and joy, and always found ways to be helpful. He stayed close to his brother, Timothy, and sister-in-law, Karlea. He was further enriched by the joy he found in being an uncle to his nephews, Grayson and Connor Siford. And to many other friends and family he leaves behind, he had but one wish; to make them smile.
Kevin's love extended to his furry companions as well. His dogs, Annie and Chunk, and his cat, Ocelot, were a testament to his caring spirit, each one receiving his undivided attention and affection. Meeting him at the Rainbow Bridge are his dogs Gibson and Cleo and his cat Spade, having already passed.
