A celebration of the life of Kevin Sousa will be held Sunday, June 25, beginning with a paddleout in the morning south of the Hermosa Beach pier, and followed by music and remembrances in the afternoon and evening on Pier Plaza.
Sousa cast a wide net prior to succumbing to melanoma last month, just a few weeks after performing with his Kevin Sousa Band at the BeachLife Music Festival in Redondo Beach. The singer/songwriter/guitarist owned the Hermosa Music Studio, and was also a psychologist who served as clinical Director of the Jimmy Miller Foundation. In his younger years, he was a Mira Costa High surf coach, a Shark’s Cove bartender, and touring musician.
Memorial participants are invited to bring a four-inch x six-inch photo of Sousa for posting on a bulletin board.
