MILLBURY, MA – Kevin Michael Ellis, 67, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours at his home on February 17, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Kevin leaves his wife of 24 years, Donna Martin-Ellis. His children: Elizabeth and her husband Packie Cairns, Micheil Ellis of Georgia, Sarah Ellis of Framingham, Chris and his wife Nichole Hutchinson of Uxbridge, and Jeff Hutchinson and his wife Leah of Colorado. He was a devoted Grampy to Brianna, Cianna, Nathaniel, Joshua, Packie and Arianna including many beloved nieces, nephews and friends. As he closed his eyes to his life, he reunited with his precious son and best friend Charlie J. Ellis, his father, Edward G. Ellis Jr, his mother, Catherine A. (Burke) Douglas, his brother, Edward G. Ellis III.
Kevin was a lifelong resident of Massachusetts, attended Waltham High School, and later joined the Massachusetts Army National Guard. He was a hard worker devoting many years to the Middlesex Newspaper in Framingham and held various other security officer jobs before retiring in early 2024. He decided to return to work part-time at Brookdale Senior Living Center in Auburn as a proud driver for the Seniors.
Kevin was known for his gentle heart and his picture perfect “Smile with dimples”. Life became even brighter when he became a grandfather and lived up to the name “BAMPY” creating a special bond with all his grandchildren who he adored. He was a devoted caregiver to his Nana Burke and mother “Cathy”. He loved participating in several Community Theatre events and being the star “Santa” at Steps Off Broadway in Bellingham.
Kevin enjoyed gatherings with family and friends and always was the master of the grill! He enjoyed going to the beach, camping, traveling the US, and cruising to Bermuda, the Caribbean, and his dream cruise recently across the Mediterranean. Kevin was a true New England Patriots and Red Sox fan.
