Kevin P. Spaziani of West Chester, Pennsylvania, born on April 1, 1996, was brought into the loving arms of God on August 2, 2023 at age 27.
Born in Aston, Pennsylvania, Kevin immediately began to touch the hearts of those who were lucky enough to cross his path. Despite living a life full of daily struggles, he persisted in having a striking smile on his face through it all. He was best known for his contagious laugh that could brighten up an entire room, even if it was not at the most opportune times. The upmost courage and love of life he possessed was a true inspiration to his surrounding communities.
With The Spaziani Family being parishioners at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in West Chester, Pennsylvania for 20 years, Kevin’s connection with God only grew larger as time continued. The St. Max community fueled and preserved his love for Jesus’ everlasting presence. Kevin often looked over his left shoulder and smiled, and when asked about it, he claimed he could see his two guardian angels: His late Grandmother, Georgette “Bunny” Spaziani, and his rainbow sister, Alison. He has consistently felt the presence of God and his guardian angels throughout his 27 years of life, which brings comfort into knowing he is in heaven with them now, becoming a guardian angel for his loved ones as well.
Kevin attended school at the Child & Career Development Center (CCDC) in Coatesville, Pennsylvania for fifteen years, with which he gained countless opportunities to succeed, learn, and meet many helping hands along the way. Kevin’s upbeat demeanor continued to spread throughout the area, as he volunteered as a greeter at the Chester County Intermediate Unit in Coatesville, Pennsylvania as well. His favorite days were spent participating in the school’s Special Olympics program, in which he humbly won many first-place ribbons. Several members of the CCDC community have continued to be an active presence in Kevin’s life even after graduating in 2017.
Kevin’s family and close friends were the people who brought him the most joy, laughter, and love. He loved going to the annual Philadelphia Flyers Carnival with his Aunt Mimi, liked to both pick on and protect his parents and little sister, played with his dog Winnie, and was always laughing with (and at) his extended family, especially when his Uncle Michael said the prayer before every Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve meal.
Kevin is survived by his loving Parents, David and Maureen (Shrader) Spaziani, his little Sister, Samantha “Sammy” Spaziani, his Mom-Mom, Mary (Peoples) Conners, his Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins: Allen and Kimberly (Hollander) Shrader [Jackie, Rob, Tommy, Katie], Robert Shrader and Paula Wintz [Amy, Max, Joe], Peggy (Shrader) Welsh [Kelly, Matt, Brendan], James and Regina (Hooper) Shrader [Jennifer, Jeanne, Jamie], Steven and Mary (Shields) Shrader [Steve, Liam, Jack], Michael and Maureen (Donohue) Shrader [Michael, Kayleigh, Mollie, Ryan], Robert and Mary Anne (Shrader) Essl [Seamus], and Robert and Becky (Stroukoff) Iscaro [Joel]. He is also survived by many second cousins, spouses, and close family friends.
Along with being able to meet his Grandmother, Georgette “Bunny” Spaziani, and his rainbow sister, Alison for the first time, he is predeceased by his Pop-Pop, William F. Conners; all of whom will be watching over their family until they meet again.
