The Hartford community and the bowling world are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Kendall Robinson, a talented young bowler and cherished friend, who passed away following a car accident. Known for his skill on the lanes, his sportsmanship, and his kind, uplifting spirit, Kendall’s passing has left an enormous void among his family, friends, and teammates.

The Callahan Family and staff at Bowl-O-Rama, where Kendall spent countless hours honing his craft and sharing laughs with friends, shared a heartfelt tribute: “He was a great bowler and friend to many at Bowl-O-Rama and will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kendall’s family.”

Kendall’s passion for bowling was undeniable. Carrying on a legacy that friends say he inherited from his father, Kendall quickly earned a reputation as a gifted competitor with incredible potential.

But beyond his athletic talent, he will be remembered for his humility, his laughter, and his ability to inspire those around him. Teammates and opponents alike described him as a “true gentleman” and a “true sportsman of the game,” qualities that made him deeply respected across the bowling community.

The StrikeFX family also honored Kendall’s memory, saying: “Kendall, you will be missed by all — those that competed against you and those that had the pleasure to watch you on the lanes. The bowling community lost a true gentleman and true sportsman. May you rest in peace.”

Friends and fellow bowlers have shared their own reflections, remembering Kendall not only as a competitor but as someone who brought joy and encouragement to others. One tribute read: “Rest easy Kendall Robinson. I always looked forward to seeing you on the lanes. I’m just grateful I got to talk with you Thursday night at Callahan’s and share some laughs one last time. This just all feels like a bad dream. I’ll see you in the big bowling alley in the sky one day, brother.”

Another close friend added: “It saddens my heart to have to say rest in peace. I’m at a loss for words. Kendall, you were so young with so much potential, an amazing bowler just like your father. I’ll never forget you — rest up, brother.”

Kendall’s life, though far too short, touched countless people. He embodied kindness, perseverance, and community, leaving behind a legacy of not just athletic achievement, but also the friendships and bonds he created. His absence will be felt deeply by his family, his teammates, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

As the Hartford community and the greater bowling world come together in grief, they also celebrate Kendall’s life and the many ways he brought people together. His memory will live on in every strike, every laugh shared at the lanes, and every life he inspired.
