It is with immense sorrow and a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of our dear friend, Kevin Teles. Kevin departed this world over the weekend after a valiant and prolonged battle with his illness, which ultimately claimed his last breath.
Kevin was more than just a member of our running group; he was a source of inspiration and joy for all of us at BCR. His passion for running and his resilient spirit were evident in every stride he took alongside us. Despite his illness, Kevin’s enthusiasm never waned; his determination and strength were as palpable as the ground beneath our feet during every run.
Remembering Kevin
Kevin’s love for running was matched only by his love for the people in his life. He often said that running with our group was one of the highlights of his week, and his presence brightened our gatherings without fail. Kevin’s infectious laugh and unwavering optimism encouraged us all to push through our limits, both on the track and in life.
We ask that you keep Kevin and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this profoundly difficult time. Let us hold them close to our hearts, as they navigate this period of mourning and reflection.
