Jordan Pond has been a beloved part of Shrewsbury for generations — a place for fishing, boating, ice skating, and quiet moments in nature. Everything changed on August 28, 2025, when Kevin Doherty lost his life to a senseless act of violence while walking home from his child’s school.

Together with Kevin’s family, we are working to reclaim this space by creating a community garden that reflects the resilience, compassion, and hope that define Shrewsbury. This garden will be a living tribute to Kevin’s life and a place where healing and connection can flourish.

We welcome all residents to participate in shaping a space that will serve future generations and stand as a testament to the strength and compassion of our community.

Community Garden in Honor of Kevin Doherty
