I am deeply heartbroken. Kevin was a former partner and a lifelong friend. His loyalty to his family, friends and clients knew no limits. Nor did his passion and innate contagious optimism. He was a joy to be with - and scheme with. And, true to form, he remained sunny to the end. His passing will leave a hole in the universe. RIP brother and prayers to a wonderful DeMenna family.@DeMennaPublic

Heartbreaking news. Much love to the DeMenna boys and DPA staff. Kevin personified Arizona and was an important mentor to me and a generation of Arizona politicos. He’ll be missed. Rest in peace friend.

I’m reflecting on the loss of someone who changed the course of my life.
Kevin DeMenna was more than a former boss. He was the person who introduced me to lobbying and believed in me long before I believed in myself. He invested in my growth, professionally and personally, and became my biggest champion.
Kevin knew I didn’t come from money, in fact, I had none. He bought me my first real work bag, one I still carry today. Every time I pick it up, I’m reminded of how it all started, and with whom. He would give me bonuses to help cover new suits and other expenses so I could show up ready.
He and the entire DeMenna family treated me like one of their own. They’re special and will always have a place in my heart.
I will never forget what Kevin did for me.
I remind myself often that someone was there for me when I needed it most, and now it’s my turn to help others. Those were Kevin’s teachings, and they live on in how I try to show up everyday.
Rest in peace, Kevin. My prayers are with the entire DeMenna family. ❤️🙏

I’ll really miss my “soda-pop” conversations with Kevin.
He had a wonderful sense of humor, full of wisdom, and a way of reminding you why public service matters. I always walked away from our conversations having learned something—and usually with a smile.
I’ll miss those moments, his friendship, and the genuine goodness of his heart.
My prayers are with the DeMenna family. May God surround you with love, comfort, and peace.
Rest easy, my friend.

I remember when we did the Decades music theme park bill and thinking there is no way this gets signed into law. A theme park in Eloy? Come on. But he did it and it was a masterclass in story telling
Kevin was like an excited kid with a new toy when he got a project like that.

What a beautiful tribute to a man who loved this state and his family passionately. His passing truly leaves a void for all of us. Much love to all the DeMennas and all who knew Kevin.

Something like this puts a lot into perspective at a time like this. I always enjoyed our chats at his office and working the issues with him. He loved his family and it truly showed. RIP Kevin…till we meet again.

Truly an indescribable loss. Kevin was one of the best around. I am so grateful for my time with him at DPA and his mentorship. Session will not be the same without him.

He was more than a boss. He was a stand in father figure who recognized I was still a boy who desperately needed guidance & a mentor. He welcomed me into his life and lovingly referred to me as a “son.” He taught me how to dress professionally. He brought me out of my shell.
Joe DeMenna retweeted
To have worked with and learned from Kevin has been an honor words cannot describe. Kevin taught me so much, I am grateful for the time I had with him.

"Time with him was like consuming multiple energy drinks," said DuVal, a former member of the state Board of Regents. "No mountain too high. No cause too great." See my story here: azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
