From an early age, Kevin had a zest for life and wanted to accomplish things quickly. He excelled in sports and received high praise from his football coach and teammates as a stellar linebacker.
Kevin used his intelligence to graduate from school early, earning his GED in 2018. From there he attended welding classes, where he became a certified welder. Kevin loved working on vehicles and getting to know all the inner workings of what made a car run. He wanted to learn everything he could about vehicles and would take on any new challenge with glee.
Kevin lived a well-rounded life. Many in the community adored his soft-spoken voice, gentle manners, and his willingness to help anyone at any time. Kevin was always concerned about the wellbeing of his elders. Kevin was very passionate about family and kept them close to his heart. He loved being a father to his children and spending as much time as possible with them. He also had dreams of one day running a dog kennel as he adored animals as well.
