Monmouth County is grieving the loss of Retired Sheriff’s Officer Kevin Joseph Moylan, a man whose kindness, loyalty, and quiet strength touched countless lives throughout his decades of service. Kevin passed away following complications from a recent bypass surgery, leaving behind a deeply saddened family, a wide circle of friends, and an entire law enforcement community that respected and cherished him.

Kevin spent more than 30 years serving with the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, where he became known not only for his professionalism but for the genuine goodness he brought into every room. Fellow officers often said that simply being around Kevin made the day a little easier. His warmth, humility, and grounded presence made him universally admired. As so many have shared in the wake of his passing, he probably didn’t have an enemy in the world—a testament to the kind of man he was.

To those who worked alongside him, Kevin was more than a colleague; he was a friend, a mentor, and a steady hand in moments when calm leadership mattered most. His retirement, after decades of dedicated service, marked the closing of an extraordinary chapter in a life defined by commitment and community. Yet even after stepping away from the uniform, he remained deeply connected to the people and places that shaped him.

Kevin’s roots in Atlantic Highlands ran deep. Friends who knew him from childhood remember watching him grow up on the Pop Warner field, playing for the Tigers and forming bonds that lasted a lifetime. One longtime friend shared the heartbreaking news by recalling Kevin as the 10-year-old boy he had coached—full of promise, drive, and heart. Those qualities stayed with him throughout his life, in his work, in his friendships, and especially in his family.

Above all, Kevin was a loving husband and a devoted father. His family was his pride and joy, and he lived every day with them at the center of his world. Their loss is immeasurable, and the community holds them close in thoughts and prayers during this painful time.

The passing of Kevin Moylan leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his memory remains a blessing to all who knew him. His legacy—of service, kindness, and unwavering decency—will continue to live on in the Sheriff’s Office, in Atlantic Highlands, and in the many hearts he touched over the years.

Rest in peace, Moe. Your community will never forget you.
