“Support Silvia and Kids After Fredy’s Passing”
“Dear PoPville,
My friends are performing at a silent auction/raffle fundraiser this Sunday at Kirwan’s, held in honor of their executive chef, who recently passed away unexpectedly.”
Honoring the Life & Legacy of Executive Chef Fredy Lopez
Our beloved Executive Chef, Fredy Lopez, passed away suddenly, leaving behind his loving wife, Silvia, and their two beautiful children. Fredy was more than just a chef; he was a mentor, a leader, and a true friend to all of us at Kirwan’s on the Wharf. Fredy was instrumental in shaping our restaurant since its inception in 2017. Starting as a cook, he quickly rose to become our Head Chef, bringing passion and dedication to every dish. His passion for his craft, his kindness, and his unwavering dedication to his team and guests made a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

To honor Fredy’s memory and support his family during this unimaginable loss, we are hosting a Silent Auction Fundraiser on February 2nd at 1 PM at Kirwan’s on the Wharf. All proceeds will go directly to Silvia and their children to help cover funeral expenses and provide them with the support they need during this difficult time.
