Kevin W. Gaughen

Kevin W. Gaughen of Hingham passed away on September 19th, 2019 at the age of 65 after a battle with prostate cancer.

A beloved father to Kevin Jr, Anne, and Michael and father-in-law to Alisa and Alison, his roles as grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, partner and general counsel were among his most cherished. He is also survived by his significant other, Tammy Gray, his first wife, Eileen Gaughen, his brother Robert H. Gaughen Jr., and sisters Elizabeth Volpone and Eleanor Hernando, and brother-in-law Julio Hernando. In death, he joins his sisters Catherine Titus and Rita Lane and his parents, Robert H. Gaughen and Catherine Gaughen, and peacefully went to rest with them surrounded by his loving family.

A graduate of Boston College High School, Georgetown University and Suffolk Law School, Kevin was deeply honored to use his curiosity and intellect as a lawyer in Weymouth to serve the communities of the South Shore since 1979.  A captain at heart, Kevin loved the sea and in 2004 patented a new design for a lobster trap with his son Michael—mostly so he could enjoy the fruits of that labor.  While he loved the law, the ocean, a good book and a strong argument, nothing was more important to him than his family and friends, and he will be always remembered by them for his brilliance, strength, stubbornness, generosity and deep love of salt and maple syrup.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the visiting hours on Monday 4-8 PM in the McDonald Keohane Funeral Home South Weymouth at 809 Main Street (Rte 18 opp. So. Shore Hospital).
