It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we share the passing of Kevin Abercrombie, founder and driving force behind The Lone Girl Brewing Company in Waunakee, Wisconsin. Kevin tragically died by suicide earlier this week, leaving behind a heartbroken family, devastated friends, and a community forever touched by his kindness, creativity, and unwavering dedication.
Kevin was more than a visionary entrepreneur—he was a creator, a connector, and above all, a devoted family man. He poured his heart into every endeavor, whether restoring homes with his father, revitalizing forgotten spaces, or transforming a former lumberyard into one of Waunakee’s most beloved gathering places. The Lone Girl Brewing Company was more than a brewery—it was a space built on love, laughter, and the belief that community matters.
A loving husband to Kerry and proud father to Avary, Ansley, and Cuinn, Kevin’s greatest joy was his family. His path—from working the door at Tequila Roadhouse to becoming a respected business leader—was marked by grit, humility, and an unstoppable drive to build something meaningful.
Kevin was both a craftsman and a dreamer. With an engineer’s precision and an artist’s soul, he reimagined the ordinary into the extraordinary. Those who knew him remember his quiet strength, his tireless work ethic, and the way he made everyone feel seen and valued. He was a mentor, a builder, a problem-solver—and above all, a friend.
His passing is a painful reminder that the people we admire most may be quietly carrying heavy burdens. As we grieve, we are also reminded of the importance of compassion, connection, and mental health support. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out—help is always available, and no one should walk through darkness alone.
In the coming days, The Lone Girl Brewing Company will share ways the community can come together to honor Kevin’s legacy. In the meantime, his loved ones ask for space and kindness as they process this immense loss.
To Kevin—your spirit lives on in the foundation you built, the lives you touched, and the love you leave behind. You gave this community a place to gather, grow, and belong—and for that, we will always be grateful.
With love and remembrance,
The Lone Girl Brewing Company Family
