Alex, partner of former AFL star and media figure Brendan Fevola, shared a heartfelt message on social media:
“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.”
Brendan expressed his sorrow, recalling Keith's humor and love for the family:
“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.”
Alex and Brendan, who divorced in 2014 and reunited two years later, have four daughters: Mia, Leni, Lulu, and Tobi. Mia is Brendan’s stepdaughter. All the girls shared messages honoring their grandfather.
Mia wrote: “On Friday, heaven gained an angel. Rest in peace, granddad, love you forever. Never failed to make us laugh.”
The Fevola family is deeply affected by Keith’s passing, with love and laughter being the lasting memories.
