About

The Bianchi Brothers

Sadly, Bobby lost his life in a crash near Subic Bay, Philippines in 1987. Kevin suffered a similar fate many years later in Sicily, after having risen to the the rank of Commander over the course of his naval career. The Bianchi brothers were wonderful men, tremendous athletes and loyal friends. Kevin was also a committed husband and the loving father of three beautiful children. 

The Bianchi brothers were exceptional in many ways. Testimonials written by friends and family, some of which are included on our website, give the best insight on each of their unique qualities. They were the kind of men who drew others to them. You wanted to hang out and be friends with Bobby and Kevin. They stood out at Navy despite being surrounded by many other talented individuals. Bobby captained Navy’s nationally ranked lacrosse squad. Kevin was captain of the wrestling team his first class year and played lacrosse as well. Their natural leadership qualities made it obvious they would go on to achieve great success in their naval careers.

Testimonials

Even with all the success on the field and in the classroom, Bobby was still one of humblest guys I’ve ever known. That’s not to say he wasn’t confident, he was very confident – probably more than anyone else I’ve ever known. No matter what sport he was playing, when it was coming down to the last play, he wanted the ball. And we usually gave it to him knowing that the result was likely going to be good.
