Kevin James Maggrett Jr. of Southampton died on October 4 at his home in Edmeston, New York. He was 46.

He was born at Southampton Hospital on July 4, 1978.

He was a graduate of Southampton High School and lived with his parents in Shinnecock Hills.

Patrons at Maggrett Auto Body in Bridgehampton would frequently be greeted by his helpful and caring nature. He and his father, working side by side, offered Bridgehampton a friendly, family-owned business.

He moved from Southampton in 2019 to Edmeston with his parents, Kevin James Maggrett Sr. and Irene Guyer Maggrett.

Always with great concern for all creatures great and small, he enjoyed life. He enjoyed movies, reading, and technology, but was not fond of yard work or mowing the lawn. He was a connoisseur of culinary delights and enjoyed cooking and dining with family and friends.

He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Joseph Guyer and Mabel Ruppel Guyer; and his paternal grandparents, Ralph and Rita Maggrett. He is survived by his parents, Kevin James Maggrett Sr. and Irene Guyer Maggrett; his sister Katherine Maggrett Buckley and her husband Padric Buckely and their son Ian of Shirley; many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Meeting in the Middle

Language is a great divider, and as the East End’s demographics have steadily evolved over the past two decades, finding ways to bridge that divide is essential. That’s particularly true for school-age children, who often find themselves immersed in a new culture without the skills to communicate. But Southampton School District recognized that the language gap is bad for the school community in general — and that it presents not just a challenge but an opportunity. Rather than focusing solely on Spanish-speaking students and their needs, the district’s dual language program, which is now in its 20th year, benefits all ... by Editorial Board
