Kevin Nulle, 57, of Pine Beach, NJ, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, at 7:37pm on 1/31/2026, in Toms River, NJ.

Kevin was born on September 26, 1968, in Hollis, NY, to Pat and Larry Nulle. As a young boy, Kevin lived on Long Island. His family moved to Toms River, NJ, in 1979, where Kevin spent his formative years. Ultimately, Kevin settled in Pine Beach with his wife, Kerry Ryan.

As a young child, Kevin enjoyed outdoor activities and could oftentimes be found on his dirt bike, BMX bike, or skateboard. In middle school, he even built a half pipe in his backyard for himself and his friends. Kevin graduated from Toms River High School North in 1987. He loved listening to the Grateful Dead, throwing neighborhood parties, hanging out in the woods with his friends, and tormenting his sisters.

As an adult, Kevin found joy in attending concerts, listening to music, and spending long days at the beach. He never passed up an opportunity to hit the Poconos for a ski trip with friends and his son, Kyle. Kevin was a lifelong fan of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and for more than 30 years, he was a member of the Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee, serving as Parade Marshal for more than half of those years.  Kevin also spent many years supporting the Beachwood/Pine Beach Little League and even took on the role of Coach for several seasons.

Kevin attended Ocean County College, where he earned his associate degree.  He made lifelong friends while building his career, working for more than 32 years as a Logistics Manager for L’Oréal.

After work, Kevin could often be seen riding his electric bike along the water in Pine Beach or watching his beloved Mets or Rangers with family and friends. Kevin always enjoyed taking the “river way” home and beeping his horn as he drove past his parents’ house.

Above all else, Kevin valued time with family and loved ones. To those who knew him, Kevin had a special way of connecting with those around him. He was sensitive (crying at Hallmark movies), a serial jokester, and someone who always lit up the room with his genuine smile and friendly disposition.

Kevin is survived by his parents, Pat and Larry Nulle; his loving wife, Kerry Ryan; his son, Kyle Nulle; his stepson, Sean Baker; his sister, Keri, and her husband, Mike Badami; his sister, Cyndie, and her husband, Steven Meyer; his aunt Debbie and uncle Ron, six nieces and nephews—Stevie, Brianna, Chloe, Joe, Billy, and Liv, two great-nephews and one great-niece—Ryker, Amelia, and Luke, and many cousins.

Kevin was preceded in death by his grandparents, Mary and Joe Higgins and William and Wilberta Nulle; his uncles, Pat Nulle and Tim Nulle; and his aunt, Ellen Nulle.

Though Kevin’s life on earth has ended, his love, compassion, and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Family and friends are welcome to join a celebration of life, which will be held on February 7th from 1:30 to 4:00 PM at Stone Fire Grille in Beachwood, NJ.
