The AFL community has united in sorrow with Brendan and Alex Fevola after the loss of Alex’s father, Keith, who passed away last Friday. The tragedy deeply moved fans and colleagues across the sport.
“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 described her father as a man full of vitality and love, sharing her heartfelt words alongside photos capturing their happiest moments together.
“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.”
Brendan remembered Keith as a figure who filled their home with laughter and affection.
Alex and Brendan, who divorced in 2014 and reunited two years later, share four daughters—Mia, Leni, Lulu, and Tobi. Each expressed their grief for their beloved grandfather.
“On Friday, heaven gained an angel. Rest in peace, granddad, love you forever. Never failed to make us laugh.”
The Fevola family’s touching messages have resonated deeply with supporters across the AFL community.
