The AFL community is grieving with Brendan and Alex Fevola after the passing of Alex’s father, Keith. He died last Friday, leaving behind family and friends who remember him with deep love and fondness.

Tributes from Alex Fevola

"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 full of energy and warmth, a man who seemed unstoppable and filled every moment with life.

Brendan Fevola’s Words

"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 recalled Keith as a source of laughter and kindness who deeply impacted his family’s life.

Family and Legacy

Alex and Brendan, who divorced in 2014 and reunited in 2016, share four daughters — Mia, Leni, Lulu, and Tobi. Mia, Brendan’s stepdaughter, lovingly remembered her grandfather in a touching post.

"On Friday, heaven gained an angel. Rest in peace, granddad, love you forever. Never failed to make us laugh."
