Kevin was more than a firefighter—he was a pillar of the Lebanon Borough Fire Company and a familiar, trusted presence throughout Hunterdon County’s emergency services. Serving as Past Chief, he exemplified leadership, courage, and selflessness.

Friends remember him as someone who could always be counted on—whether during moments of crisis or in everyday life. His sense of humor, his big smile, and his ability to bring light into any situation made him truly unforgettable.
Kevin was also a mentor and role model to many. From childhood memories at the firehouse to years spent serving together, he inspired the next generation of firefighters with his knowledge, patience, and encouragement. He didn’t just lead—he taught, supported, and believed in those around him. Many recall their first experiences in the fire service shaped by Kevin’s steady presence and guidance, memories that will be cherished forever.
His family was at the center of everything he did. As a husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin’s love ran deep and true. The bond he shared with his loved ones was evident in his words, his actions, and the life he built around them.
As the community mourns this tremendous loss, we extend our deepest condolences to Michele Saharic and the entire Saharic family, as well as his brothers and sisters in the Lebanon Fire Company. Kevin Saharic was truly one of a kind—a leader, a friend, and a hero.
