Remembering Emmett Kearney

Emmett Kearney

December 13, 1968 - August 5, 2026

We were deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of our longtime friend Emmett Kearney. He passed away just hours before our 2026 tournament.

A founding member of Pouteam, Emmett's participation in and significant contribution to our tournament date back several decades. He embodied the spirit of our tournament; always able to bring people together with his stories, his larger than life personality, and his abundant generosity.

Our sincere condolences go out to his daughter Emma, family, Pouteam, his many friends, and his beloved dog, Tucker.
