W
e honor the life and legacy of Kevin
Francis Reilly Jr. '08, who recently
joined the Chapter Eternal in May 2025. A
devoted brother, student leader, and public
servant, Kevin pledged Theta Chi in 2004
and served as Tau's Chapter president from
2006-07 before being elected Student Body
President at UF in 2007-08.
Recognized with the prestigious Reginald
E.F. Colley Award, Kevin exemplified
distinguished service to his Chapter,
fraternity, and alma mater. After graduation,
he continued his commitment as president
(2014-17) and later vice president (2022-25) of
the Tau Realty Board Corporation while also
contributing at the international level through
leadership programs and committee work.
Professionally, Kevin excelled in public
service, leveraging his leadership skills
as a respected advisor and strategist,
most recently serving as Chief of Staff to
Congresswoman Laurel Lee. His integrity,
kindness, and
mentorship
touched
countless lives,
and his sudden passing at just 38 deeply
saddened family, friends, and colleagues.
Kevin's memory lives on through his
unwavering dedication to brotherhood,
leadership, and service. We send heartfelt
condolences to the many whose lives he
brightened. May his spirit continue inspiring
us all to live with purpose and compassion.
