Jeffrey P. Horovitz, 64, died Oct. 30 at his home in Cranston, Rhode Island, with his loving family by his side.
Jeff was the high school sweetheart and then husband of Kathleen McHugh Horovitz for 15 years. He was the beloved son of the late Adrian and Deborah Berman Horovitz. Jeff attended and graduated from Cranston High School West in 1980. He received his higher education at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Rhode Island College.
Jeff served in the Marines and, following the events of Sept. 11, 2001, re-enlisted and continued his service in the Army Reserve, completing a tour of duty in Iraq. He left the military as a disabled veteran and turned his focus to nonprofits that directly impacted his community. For more than 11 years, Jeff and Kathleen, his wife, volunteered with Meals on Wheels, and he later joined the Touro Fraternal Sunshine Committee. He was a Mason and a member of the Jewish War Veterans.
Jeff was a devoted family man who dedicated his time to cultivating healthy bonds and enjoyed diving into hobbies. When he wasn't sure how he could accomplish a certain goal, whether woodworking or contracting, he attended YouTube University to learn the necessary skills for the job at hand. Jeff spent his spare time golfing with his Touro brothers and Foster Country Club family.
Jeff is survived by his loving wife, Kathleen, and his former wife and dear friend, Lisa. He is also survived by his son Jacob Horovitz and his daughter-in-law, Cameron; his son Joshua Horovitz; and his daughter, Corinne Bergevine, and his son-in-law, Joseph. He was the loving brother of Amy Panzer and brother-in-law of Andy, who also survive him.
