My heartfelt condolences to the entire Tricarico family. I was blessed with the opportunity to know Kevin for almost 25 years and I always admired his intellect, passion for many things including sports and the welfare of our country, and most significantly his amazing spirit and courage. I will dearly miss my friend and our many conversations about the state of everything. Rest in peace my friend, you made the world a better place and your light still shines on all who we’re fortunate enough to know you!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Tricarico family. I fondly remember our Northeastern class joining the swim team together as freshman. We immediately became fast friends. Kevin was instantly a star and the leader for our class. Above all, the impact of the times Robby Gallant, Kevin and I spent together will forever make a profound difference in my life. May he rest in peace.

I was saddened to hear of Kevin’s passing. Although we never met, I followed his story after his accident. I hoped that there would have been, by now, a cure for the both of us and all those who have spinal cord injuries. Despite his injury, it looks like he didn’t stop enjoying life and that he didn’t let it define him. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Very sad to hear the news of Kevin’s passing. I have fond memories of growing up next door to the Tricarico’s. My brother, Ken and I would be out all day playing sports with Kevin and the neighbors. Marlboro -River Drive was a great place to grow up. We did odd jobs for neighbors and were always making money during all seasons. Kevin was a competitor., we competed together on football and swim teams growing up. I also remember Kevin loved to fish. We had lots of party boat trips that Frank brought us on.
Kevin and I texted during the holidays, that was the last time I spoke to him. Rest In Peace , God Bless!

Dear Kevin, You were the leader of our cousin crew. The "first", the "smartest", the "tallest" and obviously the strongest. May you be at peace and reunited with all our loved ones in Heaven. Karen said it best, you are there taking care of them now. Love and admiration always. Lisa

Kevin was my intramural swim team coach back in the days of the Freehold Area YMCA. He had a great impact on my formative years. I was glad to re-connect with him on social media later in life and have some really good "talks" that way. Be at peace, My Friend. (And may the NJ Devils win a game in your honor!)
