Kevin B. Testa peacefully entered the gates of Heaven surrounded by his loved ones on November 3, 2025. He was born in Warren, OH on May 6, 1959, a son of Dr. Ben and Lenore (Snyder) Testa.
Kevin was a part of the Howland High School class of 77 where he then selflessly served in The United States Navy from 1977 to 1982. He married his wife, Rene (Hedrick) Testa on October 12, 2002.
Kevin was an avid sports fan with a profound love for the “Oakland” Raiders, Baltimore Orioles and the Ohio State Buckeyes. He loved music, especially Pink Floyd. Kevin’s soul was born to be outdoors, from enjoying it peacefully, lying in the grass with his grandkids watching the clouds go by to enjoying a good thunderstorm. He absolutely adored his critters (grandchildren) they made his soul full and his heart happy. He was a family man and was genuinely happy just being with them. He was Mr. Fix It, or at least Mr. Start It.
Kevin leaves behind many that loved him dearly including his wife Rene (Hedrick) Testa; daughters Megan (Joseph) Moss of Niles, OH and Leah (Shawn) Darbey of Cortland, OH; sons Kyle Testa of Hubbard, OH and Nicholas Testa of Girard, OH; 7 grandchildren Mason, Savannah, Michael, Aubrey, Laina, Harper and Henry and sisters Denise Testa and Adrienne Mackall.
He was predeceased by his parents; sisters Lisa and Valerie, Brother-in-law Mark Canfield, Nephew Marky (Guckie) Canfield and his in-laws Jeff and Eileen Hedrick.
The family would like to extend their immense gratitude to Southern Care Hospice, Dr. Black, Dr. Bisel and Np’s Zack, Donna and Jim for their endless support, care and professionalism during Kevin’s time with them.
Kevin’s family loved the man he was, but they were most proud of his sobriety, as was he. Kevin had been sober for 3,827 days. He was coming up on 11 years on May 13, 2026. Kevin attended meetings like it was everything to him, at least 4 times a week. He had taken on positions at different meeting locations, became a sponsor for those still suffering and took so much pride in the hard work he put in.
As per Kevin’s wishes, there will be no services. A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date.
Professional services were entrusted to Selby Funeral Home.
