Kevin Jiang ’21MESc, who was killed in February, is remembered for his optimism and resilience. View full image
On a sunny Saturday in February, Kevin Jiang ’21MESc, a student at the School of the Environment, went ice fishing at Connecticut’s Silver Lake. After hours of telling riddles and sharing stories with his fiancée Zion Perry ’26PhD and his friend Shane Sebastiao ’19MAM, Jiang pulled up a wriggling pickerel from a hole in the ice.
“He pointed out how beautiful the fish’s scales were,” says Sebastiao. “He said, ‘Look at how the sun is reflecting off of these scales.’ Kevin could always find beauty in the mundane. He would be walking down the street and notice beautiful things in the dirt or in a bush.”
