ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – Via the GoFundMe: Our family is suffering the unimaginable loss of our son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin, Brian Kilduff. Brian was amazing, talented, smart, handsome and funny to say the least and our hearts are breaking. He loved his family with all his heart and his smile lit up every room. If you knew him, you loved him and he was always a person you wanted around. He loved life. Brian was an athlete, played for North Rockland Hockey, where his father Dan played and his brother James currently plays. Brian was an active member of the North Rockland community, serving as the videographer for North Rockland Hockey and Army West Point Athletics. The Martorelli and Kilduff families are deeply rooted in North Rockland. Brian was able to contribute to his passion for the environment, and worked for a green energy company that turns compost into reusable energy.

This tragedy occurred while he was on the trip of his dreams to hike Patagonia in southern Chile. Brian suddenly developed an illness that progressed quickly, and he passed away unexpectedly at the age of 27. His parents, Bernadette and Dan, are currently in Chile and working on bringing Brian home, which is a difficult and costly endeavor given the location in the southern tip of Chile, as well as the political and geographical hurdles they are facing. Any donations to help ease the substantial financial burden of this loss to bring him home and provide a proper funeral are greatly appreciated.

We will miss and love you forever, Dude ❤️
