Obituary
February 10, 1985 – July 21, 2026
Kevin Julian Littleton, 41, passed away on July 21, 2026. He was born on February 10, 1985, and grew up in West Bloomfield, Michigan, the youngest of three sons born to Ray and Marcia Littleton. He attended Detroit Country Day School for middle and high school before graduating from Yale University.
After Yale, Kevin took his talents to Wall Street, building a nearly two-decade career in Finance. He began at UBS in 2007, then joined Goldman Sachs in 2009, where he spent almost eight years rising to Vice President. He went on to serve as Vice President at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and BNP Paribas, and as Senior Vice President at Odeon Capital Group, before moving into venture investing at Beyond Alpha Ventures. Most recently, Kevin was a Partner at Napoleon Partners, an investment firm he helped build and named in honor of his grandfather, a veteran.
Kevin had a rare ability to make every person he met feel seen, valued, and instantly connected. He carried himself with a contagious warmth and charisma that could turn a room full of strangers into a gathering of lifelong friends, leaving behind laughter, memories, and genuine relationships wherever he went. A devoted father, loyal friend, and someone who embraced life with energy and joy, Kevin's smile and lighthearted spirit will continue to inspire everyone fortunate enough to have known him.
Outside of work and family, Kevin was passionate about fitness, loved to travel, and was an avid football fan.
Kevin is survived by his son, Levi Julian Littleton — his middle name given in honor of his father — age 11; his parents, Ray and Marcia Littleton; his brothers, Jason Littleton and Ray Littleton; his sisters-in-laws, Sarah Littelton and Rheami Littleton, and his nieces Zoe Littleton, Eva Littleton, and Reagan Littleton.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be directed to an education fund established in Kevin's memory for Levi.
