FFWPU USA Blessing and Family Ministry: In Loving Memory of Kevin McCarthy

Children: Stephen (Rorie Dean), Hannah, Charlanne, Morla (Daniel)

Birthdate: April 27, 1951

Ascension: May 21, 2022

Rev. Kevin McCarthy is well known as one of America’s premier Divine Principle lecturers. Having joined the Unification Movement in 1972, he has taught alongside the likes of Rev. Ken Sudo in the 70s. Then, in the 80’s, as the main lecturer, he taught over 7000 clergy in Korea and Japan during the Interdenominational Conferences for Clergy (ICC). He was a pastor, teacher and great family man. Along with being a warm and loving brother and dedicated citizen of this country of America, he was gifted with an extraordinary ability to discern exactly which Biblical verse and Principle texts were needed, to help the lectures come to life, and he did it with amazing humor to bring the points home. Due to his firm stances and dignity of convictions, True Parents referred to Kevin as “The American Buffalo.”

Rev. Kevin Charles McCarthy, 71, of Woodbridge, Virginia, died May 21, 2022 at Inova Fairfax Hospital.

Born April 27, 1951, in Neptune, New Jersey, Kevin was the son of the late Gladys Delores Skehan and Edward Albert McCarthy. Raised in Freehold, New Jersey, the family moved to Aberdeen, North Carolina in 1958.

Survivors include his wife of 40 years, Carol Ann McCarthy; a son, Stephen McCarthy and his fiance Rorie Dean, both of Maspeth, New York; daughters, Hannah McCarthy of Tucson, Arizona, Charlanne McCarthy of Richmond, Virginia, and Morla McCarthy and her husband, Daniel McCarthy of Stafford, Virginia.

He is also survived by his sister Katherine Ann McCarthy and her husband, John Faulkner, of Arlington, Virginia; a brother, Richard McCarthy of Abereen, North Carolina; and a sister, Linda Pedersen of New Jersey.

Kevin began his scouting career as a cub scout and worked his way up to Eagle Scout. He received his certificate in 1965. He enjoyed sports and was an avid fisherman and golfer. At Aberdeen High School, he was on the track team, on the junior varsity football team, and later named captain of the varsity team.

He graduated in 1969. He studied philosophy at Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina.

While living in Charlotte, North Carolina, during his early years, he worked for the Charlotte Observer Newspaper.

Kevin was the author of several books, including “Realizing Jesus: What the Bible Really Tells Us About Jesus.” His author page on Amazon, under KC McCarthy, includes the following words:

“I’m not a theologian. I’m not a scholar. I’m just an ordinary person who has happened to have lived a very eclectic life. I’ve been a seeker of truth since I can remember. Perhaps, being born in New Jersey to an Irish-Catholic family and then moving to the Protestant rural South of North Carolina at age 7, I was forced to contemplate the sometimes-dire consequences of being the only Roman Catholic Yankee in town. Having to explain to my classmates why I could eat a hot dog any day except on Friday was always a daunting task that probably set my course toward seeking deeper truths and clearer explanations beyond the accepted dogmas.

“At college I became a student of the religions of the world and was always amazed in discovering the essential similarities of the various religions even though they were founded at different times and places. It made me realize that there was a great universal truth about the one God and that we all were only subject to various amounts of that whole truth.

“It seemed in those years, seekers such as I, ended up either marching against the war, smoking copious amounts of weed or were searching for and finding a new expression of God that was being offered by the array of new religious movements. I was no different. My path was toward the spiritual and for the next thirty years of my life I was given the opportunity to engage in dialogue and fellowship with literally thousands of clergy, priests and teachers of most all of the faiths of the world. This indescribably rich experience is truly the foundation of this book.”

A professional photographer, he specialized in Real Estate photography, specifically in the high-end luxury market in Northern Virginia. He also served as photographer for several non-profit organizations and provided graphic design work for The Washington Times, Times Color Graphics, the Global Peace Foundation, Westar Mortgage, and a wide assortment of local Prince William County and Northern Virginia clients.

A private graveside service was held Saturday, May 28th, in the Historic Stonewall Memory Garden, Manassas, VA., surrounded by Manassas National Battlefield Park.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

SPECIALIZING IN REAL ESTATE AND ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY

WHEN “GOOD ENOUGH” WON’T DO Why use K. Charles Photo? If you are only looking for good enough and your first concern is “how much?” . . .probably I’m not the photographer you are looking for.

However, if you want to set yourself apart, are concerned about building your brand AND, especially, you have a very important client with a most discerning taste, then, K. Charles Photo is for you.

I specialize in producing the highest-quality photography possible. It is what I refer to as “magazine- quality.” I know, yes it’s “just real estate,” but you also know that, especially, in the high-end market of Northern Virginia “good enough” won’t cut it.

The benefits gained with professional photography are well documented. You will sell faster and your pricing goals will be met more readily. I see it all the time. Also, you will be building your brand for listing appointments to come. You will be able to show your potential clients the photos of your sold listings and they will see a quality that sets you apart. Isn’t that what you want?

For most real estate photographers, its a numbers game. . . It’s click, click, click on to the next room, click, click, click. . they’ll have a camera, tripod and maybe an on-camera flash. They’ll be in and out of your house in an hour and on to the next shoot. THAT IS NOT WHAT I DO. For a fuller explanation and comparison, check out the “about” tab above and or click on“my approach.” I think you’ll see the difference. . .also be sure to check out my portfolio. . .I think you’ll like what you see.
