It is with the heaviest of hearts and the deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our cherished friend and colleague, Kieran Metcalfe, who left this world on Tuesday, following a courageous and unwavering two-year battle with cancer. Kieran’s passing leaves an irreplaceable void in the lives of all who knew him—his family, his colleagues, his friends, and the countless individuals who were touched by his generosity, humor, and indomitable spirit.
Kieran was more than just a coworker or a teammate; he was a source of light, laughter, and strength to everyone around him. Throughout his journey with cancer, he faced every challenge with quiet dignity, remarkable courage, and an unbreakable will that inspired us all. Even on his hardest days, Kieran found ways to lift others up, offering a kind word, a warm smile, or a bit of humor to lighten the load. He was the kind of person who made even the darkest moments feel a little brighter simply by being present.
Over the course of his career, Kieran distinguished himself not only through his professional excellence but also through his humanity. He brought integrity, creativity, and an uncommon depth of empathy to his work, always going above and beyond to support both the mission and the people behind it. His insights were sharp, his collaboration was effortless, and his impact was lasting. To work with Kieran was to work alongside someone who cared deeply—not just about getting the job done, but about doing it with purpose and compassion.
Outside of work, Kieran was known for his dry wit, his love of music and photography, and his fierce devotion to those he loved. He had a way of finding beauty in the ordinary and sharing it with the world, whether through a perfectly captured image or a conversation that left you smiling long after it ended. He was a loyal friend, a loving family man, and a quiet fighter who showed us all what it means to live with grace under pressure.
While we mourn the loss of such a deeply loved soul, we also celebrate the incredible life Kieran lived. His legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched, the friendships he nurtured, and the values he stood for. In his memory, we are reminded to be kinder, to laugh more freely, and to face adversity with the same quiet strength he demonstrated every day.
Our thoughts are with Kieran’s family—especially those who stood by him during his hardest moments. Your love, devotion, and care for him over these past two years were nothing short of extraordinary.
We will be sharing more details about ways to honor Kieran’s life in the coming days, including memorial arrangements and opportunities to support the causes that were close to his heart.
Rest in peace, Kieran. You were—and will always be—one of a kind. Your absence is deeply felt, but your presence in our hearts is eternal.
