Kevin Francis Finn, 59, died at home on 2/10/20 after a courageous battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Stephanie, sons, Sean (Hailey) and KC and his brother and 2 sisters. He was preceded in death by his parents, Patricia and Frank Finn. Kevin was born on 4/15/60 in Troy, NY. He received his BS Finance Degree from Arizona State University and his Juris Doctorate Degree from University of Arizona. Kevin spent his career practicing law in Tucson and Phoenix, served as a Judge Pro Tempore in Tucson Superior and Municipal Courts and as a Tax, Financial and Estate Planning Consultant. Besides his family and friends, Kevin had 3 passions in life: Cape Cod, the Red Sox and Rugby. His immediate and large extended family began going to Cape Cod when he was a young boy and he spent many summers at the beach and pond, biking to get ice cream and eating lobster rolls and fried clams. It was here that he began listening to the Red Sox games on the radio and became a proud member of the Red Sox Nation! His favorite time of year was the start of baseball season. He loved to listen to games on the radio with the local announcers and watching his team play at Fenway. Kevin began playing rugby in Tucson in the early 1990's and continued to play until just a few years ago. He played for Old Pueblo Lions Rugby Club and the Red Rock Roaches Rugby Club in Tucson. He traveled the world on Rugby Tours, made lifelong friends and a lot of great memories as well as collecting hundreds of tee shirts and rugby jerseys from around the world.

We only hung out with Kevin a few times but it was always fun. As Chris & I are fellow Red Sox fans we automatically had interests in common. I remember great conversations and a lot of laughs. You will certainly be missed Kevin. We will have a shot of Jameson in your memory this St. Patrick’s Day for sure!
Stephanie I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your best friend. It hurts to know you and his children and your families are hurting too. I can only pray that the love you shared (for the Red Sox) in life lives on forever. May you find peace in Kevin’s amazing contributions to life. Be Blessed.
I was so glad to have spent time chatting at our las high school reunion in 11/2018. We had many stories to share and many laughs from HS. You will be miss, but never forgotten. I know we all will have a guardian angel to watch over us. PS Cancer sucks big time, I am a survivor…….

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Kev at City Court. You couldn’t ask for a better person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours during this difficult time. God bless!
Kevin practiced at the regional office of Tharpe & Howell, a California firm when I served as managing Attorney. He always had a positive attitude, was a terrific collaborator and mentor. So very sorry for your loss.
