Kevin Phillip McNamara of Jamestown, New York passed peacefully into eternal life in the early evening of December 30th, 2015 at the age of 58. Born in Jamestown, New York on January 28th, 1957, he is preceded in death by his parents, John Bernard McNamara and Anthonene Valone McNamara. He is survived by his fiancé, Susan Maloney currently in residence at the Heritage Village. He was brother to Michael McNamara presently residing in Jamestown, New York and to Sister Katie, formerly known as Kathleen McNamara who now lives at Mount Saint Mary's Abbey in Wrentham, Mass. as a Cistercian nun. Kevin is survived by his four children, Phillip John McNamara of Daphne, Alabama and his wife Carolina, Patrick McNamara and fiancé Tiffany Lundberg of Davenport, Iowa, Tabitha Gloor and her husband, Pastor Alan Gloor of Oakwood Christian Church in Enid, Oklahoma and Jonathan McNamara and his wife Andrea of Mount Sterling, Kentucky. He is devoted grandfather to Giannella and Alexandra, Lydia and Reuben and James Michael and Gabriel Ryan. Kevin was a former EMT/ ambulance attendant for the Jamestown Ambulance Company and worked at both the Jamestown General Hospital as well as the WCA Hospital emergency room. It was while working in the emergency room that Kevin first met Doctor Thomas Andrews. This proved to be the beginning of a long, trusted and beautiful friendship. It was Doctor Tom who was with Kevin when he was born into Eternal Life. Kevin was also employed by Dawson Metal Company as a welder and shipper and was an active volunteer Firefighter with Fluvanna Fire Department for 14yrs. Kevin loved the privilege of helping others and was always known to go that extra mile when called upon and he was happier when what he was called upon to do would go unnoticed. A (memorial) Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at Holy Apostles (SS Peter & Paul) Church in Jamestown at 10:00am, Tuesday, January 5, 2016. The Rev. Dennis Mende, pastor, will be the celebrant. A gathering will be held in the lower level of the church following the Mass. Burial will be in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
