Kevin Frederick Kershaw was born in Yakima, Washington, Nov. 7, 1969, to Mary Ann and Edward Kershaw, joining his brother Brian. Kevin passed away July 3, 2025, leaving behind a life lived with passion, competition and deep love for his family, according to an announcement from his family.
Kevin graduated from Washington State University, earning a business degree in 1992, and began his professional career in Seattle, where he learned the value and challenges of customer service in high-pressure environments.
He joined his cousin, Robert, and their fathers in the Kershaw Cos. — the family’s legacy agriculture business. He started his time with the company working on the ranches alongside his uncle Bob. Later, in the early 2010s, Kevin was tasked with helping to develop a transportation company to service customers worldwide. His leadership in Domex Logistics officially began with the company’s foundation in 2015, and the business became an instrumental piece of the larger enterprise’s past and future successes.
Strong and loyal company employees, a competitive spirit and a drive to succeed created many opportunities for Kevin and Robert to lead the Kershaw Cos.’ continued growth as one of the top apple, pear and cherry companies in the U.S. today.
A celebration of Kevin’s life will be held Tuesday, July 22 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Yakima Country Club, 500 Country Club Dr. in Yakima.
