The AFL community mourns with Brendan and Alex Fevola over the loss of Alex’s father, Keith. The devastating news was shared last Friday, marking a painful moment for the family and the wider AFL world.
“A few days ago I lost my Dad. It has been so difficult to come to terms with. My Dad seemed indestructible, young at heart and full of life. RIP Dad, you will be missed forever, always in my heart.”
Alex, partner of former AFL star and media personality Brendan Fevola, described her father as “indestructible” and “young at heart”.
“We are going to miss your humour and quick wit. I’m gonna miss having a cold one with you, mate. Most of all the girls will miss the love their granddad gave them, and Alex the love, friendship and trust you both had with each other till the very end – the long chats that ended in laughter. Love ya, mate.”
Alex and Brendan, who divorced in 2014 before rekindling their relationship two years later, share four daughters: Mia, Leni, Lulu, and Tobi. Mia is Brendan’s stepdaughter.
All four girls expressed their love and loss for their granddad. Mia wrote:
“On Friday, heaven gained an angel. Rest in peace, granddad, love you forever. Never failed to make us laugh.”
The family continues to cherish the memory and spirit of Keith Fevola during this time of mourning.
