SC4 Honors Community Leader with 2024 Alumni Award

Kevin Totty Sr.

SC4 has awarded Kevin Totty Sr. as the 2024 alum of the year to honor the life and work he has invested in the Port Huron Community.

“SC4 has a rich history of successful alumni,” said SC4 President Kirk Kramer. “SC4 Alumni are individuals from our midst that build on the foundation of our community to enrich our lives. We recognize, value and honor the service and life of Kevin Totty, Sr. as the 2024 SC4 Alumni of the Year.”

Totty was involved with many local organizations, including SONS outreach, working as a chaplain for the Port Huron Police Department, and serving on the Governance Board and Board of Directors for the Blue Water Area Chamber of Commerce. He also served, along with his wife Jessica, as a pastor for #C4Yourselfchurch, and worked for the St. Clair County Juvenile Center. 

Most recently, Totty worked as a full-time staff member for the Community Foundation. After being with the organization for five years as a volunteer, he was hired onto their staff in 2021. In an article written by the Community Foundation titled “The Many Hats of Kevin Totty”, Kevin was quoted as saying, “Out of all the jobs I’ve had, the Foundation really is the closest to the different assignments the Lord has put on my heart.”

In addition to his SC4 degree, Totty recently returned to school and earned his bachelor’s degree in philanthropy. Totty recently passed away on September 7, 2024, after a battle with cancer. He leaves behind a loving family, including his wife of 40 years, Jessica Totty, their five children and three grandchildren.
