Kevin graduated from Lee’s Summit North High School in 2002 and was a lifelong Kansas City area resident.
Kevin thoroughly enjoyed his niece and his nephew and was looking forward to being a father in the future. He loved all animals but had a special place in his heart for dogs, especially his dog Jewel. He was an avid sports fan and a football buff. He loved the KC Chiefs and like every die-hard fan, he never missed a game.
He worked for Catalent Pharma Solutions and enjoyed his job and the people he worked with, they were like his “second family”.
He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Barbara; brother, Robert Knapp; uncle, Rick Bowers; and aunt, Brenda Ecord.
He is survived by his parents, Penny and Neal Ecord of Lee’s Summit, MO; grandparents, Merle and Lucille Ecord; grandfather, Roy Bowers; uncle, Troy Bowers; niece, Brittany Dawn Knapp; nephew, Halen Don Knapp; extended family and many great friends. He will be deeply missed by those who loved him.
Flowers are appreciated. However, Kevin would have preferred that memorial contributions be sent to Wayside Waifs; 3901 Martha Truman Road, Kansas City, Missouri 64137; (816) 761-8151;
