Obituary
Kevin M. Dugar, 52, of Indianapolis passed away on June 14, 2012. Kevin was a 1978 graduate of Pike High School and was employed as a Turf Technician at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for 30 years, after having worked there part-time for two years prior. Kevin was not just an employee, but a beloved member of the Speedway family. His fellow employees had this to say about him, "Kevin was the most dependable, hard-working member of The Indianapolis Motor Speedway family. He touched our lives on a daily basis for thirty years. We are all deeply saddened by his passing, but through our memories we will preserve his endearing spirit". Kevin will be remembered as a practical joker and an eclectic collector of "things". He was also known for his great love of animals and is sadly missed by his family pets: 3 dogs, 1 cat and an African Grey parrot, as well as his family and friends. He is preceded in death by his father, Robert A. Dugar Sr.; sister, Cynthia K. Fawcett and brother, Robert A. Dugar Jr. He is survived by his partner of 24 years, Joseph Fox; mother Jacqueline Dugar; sister-in-law, Charlotte (Suzzi) Dugar; maternal aunt, Patricia Kirk (Jack); paternal aunts, Dolores Poteet and Gloria Leffler, nieces, Jessica Cohen (Kurt) and Mallari Loy; nephews Jordan and Connor Loy; 4 great-nieces, 3 great-nephews and many cousins, their families and loving friends.

I still can't believe it. Even as I type these words, it just doesn't seem possible. Sometimes you don't realize how much someone means to you or how much you learned from them until they're gone. Here's what I learned from Kevin: Love deeply, this includes animals. Laugh often, as often as you can. Enjoy life, EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Work hard, so that you can love, laugh & enjoy life. Kevin, we're gonna miss you!! :o(

My heart is so full of loving memories...our little Kevin. So precious to our family...he was our little brother. He would run across the front yards of our neighbors down to our house...his little legs so fast! He broke bread at our table for many meals and shared his Italian traditions with us. As children, we owned the neighborhood...running the streets, playing in the woods and riding our bikes to Old Spotty. So many adventures, dreams, laughs and sorrows shared. From childhood, through school and into adulthood, Kevin was a daily part of my life. He was there for my graduation, my wedding and the births of my boys. He was Uncle Kevin to my sons...they adore him. They were in awe of Kevin and Joe's family of pets and all their cool toys and gadgets. Kevin and Joe indulged us all with laughter and fun and love! Dearest Kevin, I will miss your physical presence... the special bond you had with my sister and the love you showed my family and friends... your hugs, your smile, the twinkle of your beautiful eyes... your funny stories, your phone calls, the sound of your laughter... you smelled so good, you were tall and handsome and honest and good. It hurts so very much to say goodbye. I will keep you close with my memories and photos and stories of our lives. I will always love you. You will remain...my Little Kevin... forever in my heart. With deepest sorrow and sympathy, Deb Gryszowka
