Peacefully, with his loving family at his side, Michael “Killer” Kilkenny passed away on Thursday, June 28th 2018. A major league baseball player, professional golfer, instructor and a one of a kind, all around great guy has left this earth but not before leaving behind an amazing legacy of love and sportsmanship.

Mike achieved many accomplishments throughout his storied professional career in sports, but being a wonderful husband, father and grandfather was his greatest statistic.
