Kevin Doyle Bundy

Obituary
Condolences
Kevin Doyle Bundy passed from this earth on Thursday morning, January 23, 2025 at the St. Elizabeth Hospital in Edgewood, Kentucky from complications of multiple organ failure.  Kevin was 57 years of age.  He was born at the Oakland (California) Naval Hospital on July 10,1967 and lived in Erlanger, Kentucky for most of his life.  Kevin graduated from Lloyd High School and Northern Kentucky University.  At the time of his passing, Kevin lived in Union, Kentucky.  He was preceded in death by his younger brother Kristopher Darin Bundy.  He is survived by his parents,  Paula and Ted Bundy of Union, Kentucky.  Kevin will be laid to rest beside his brother at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Erlanger.
With a flair for writing, Kevin wrote for the Dixie News and served as a freelance writer for other newspapers in the area.  His regular column, Bundy’s Bets, was always filled with personal insights and served as a source of many debates.  He began his coaching career with the Bailey’s Shell club baseball team in the early 1990’s.  However, Kevin had a lifelong passion for basketball and mentoring youth through his coaching.  He started his basketball coaching career at Tichenor Middle School and then moved on to Highlands (Fort Thomas), while as a varsity boys’ assistant helped lead to four regional championships (9th region) in five years.  He then took his coaching skills and defensive tactics to Bishop Brossart (Alexandria), first as a varsity boys’ assistant, and then taking over the girls’ program and leading them to the 10th region championship in 2021.  He also served as athletic director for five years, playing a key role in building a $2 million outdoor athletic complex.  Kevin closed out his coaching career leading the Mason County girls program for one season before his retirement. For 31 years, Kevin started and continued the Blacktop League, an outdoor fall basketball league for 3rd through 8th graders to sharpen their skills before their school seasons began.  Since 1993, more than 800 teams and over seven thousand future high school players have polished their skills and enhanced their love of the game. “Coach” dedicated his life to shaping young athletes both on and off the court.
In lieu of flowers, the Bundy family requests that donations be made in Kevin’s name to Save the Children at https://www.savethechildren.org/ or call Donor Services at 1-800-728-3843. Visitation will be at Linnemann Funeral Home, 30 Commonwealth Avenue, Erlanger, KY on Wednesday, January 29th from 5-7:00 p.m. with funeral service at the Funeral Home on Thursday, January 30th at 11:00 a.m.  Burial will follow the service at Forest Lawn cemetery.

Praying for the family

I had the privilege of working with Kevin over several years, in the AD world, competing against him and his teams. He was always so helpful, respectful, and wise. I have nothing but good memories of our times together. I am praying for Kevin and his family.

Coach will be missed

To Kevin’s family, I am sure you will miss him and I am sorry for your loss. “Bundy” was a great coach that knew how to connect with young lives. Our group had a lot of talent and characters yet he always found a way to keep us on path. We still tell stories about him today. I was fortunate to have spent time with him as an adult, where I got to enjoy his laid back sense of humor. We always knew he was sincere and that is a great gift for a young mind. Peace.

Prayers

I offer you my deepest condolences and prayers.
Obviously, Kevin loved basketball. He contributed very much to the development of basketball in Northern Kentucky and has much respect for his dedication to the sport and its development from all the coaches that knew him.
May you be comforted with the faith that he is in the loving arms of our awesome God and working on new strategies for his next game.

God Bless all of you. May Kevin rest in peace. Dick Maile

Love and strength

Teddy and Paula…..we are so sorry to hear of Kevin’s passing. Such great memories we have of him and Kris playing with all of the neighbor hood kids on Caldwell Drive back in the day. It was a great time in all of our lives and we will cherish it always. We send you love and strength. Judi, Kevin and Lara
