Kevin "Big Kat" Kriston Foundation

Kevin Kriston was a young man who lit up a room when he entered one. He was charismatic, and had an infectious smile and personality that positively touched so many people in a multitude of ways. On Sunday, August 17, 2014, Kevin tragically passed away. The loss of this promising young man has left a void in the hearts of all the lives he profoundly touched in his brief 23 years on this Earth. His family decided shortly after his passing that they must do something to keep his beautiful spirit alive. The Kevin “Big Kat” Kriston Foundation was established to perpetuate Kevin’s memory and legacy by providing continuing education.
