Kevin Small

Kevin M. Small, a lifelong villager of Hull, passed away on April 29, 2023, after a long and courageous battle with cancer at the age of 58.

Kevin was very proud that he grew up and worked in The Village of Hull. He worked as an Auto and Marine Mechanic for over 40 years. Kevin especially loved spending time with his beloved wife Dyanne and his dog Samantha. They were rarely separated from each other whether they were working or enjoying life after work.

In his spare time, Kevin loved fishing, hunting, and watching all of his favorite Boston sports teams, especially the Bruins who he watched faithfully with his best friends Michael Delaney and Tom Kinnear. He loved to laugh and always was quick with a one liner.

Kevin is loved by many and is survived by his wife Dyanne, dog Samantha, sisters Elizabeth Small and Cheryl White, both of Hull, and Carol Clark of California.  He was also the son of the late Veronica and Earl F. Small Sr and was predeceased by his sister Janice and brother Earl F. Small Jr. Kevin also leaves behind many other extended family members and friends.

Though we miss Kevin, he faced his cancer bravely. He was never left to face it alone, Dyanne was always by his side, advocating for him, taking care of him, giving him as much normalcy and joy as is possible given the situation of the last five years. They are each other’s heroes and through it all, they were strong together.  Now their fight is over, and he no longer needs to endure any pain. He is at peace. Together to the end, at home. The way he wanted it to be.

Visiting hours will be held on Friday May 19th from 10am to 1pm at the Downing Cottage Funeral Chapel, 21 Pond St, Hingham, MA.  A celebration of life for Kevin will follow from 2pm to 6pm at the Nantasket Beach Saltwater Club. There will also be a burial service at 12:30pm at Hull Village Cemetery on Sunday May 21, 2023.
