Kevin was a long-time member and leader in the Harahan Gourmet Club, serving in many volunteer roles. True to his love of entertaining, he relished planning and hosting group events in his home and at clubs, restaurants and inns in New Orleans and the surrounding area. Every detail was attended to, from the polish of silver to floral decorations. Kevin also loved the pageant and revelry of Mardi Gras, was a past member of Bacchas and avidly followed the announcement of Rex royalty each year.

Kevin and his late wife Michel loved to travel, visit, and make memories at resorts around the country, including Houmas House Estate and Gardens in Darrow, LA, the Cloister on Sea Island, GA and the Grand Hotel Point Clear, AL. But his most treasured were the many trips to visit his nephews Kris and Travis.

Kevin attended the University of New Orleans (now LSUNO) and Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. He was an active member of the Beta Zeta chapter of Delta Sigma Pi fraternity, serving as social chair and where his affinity of hospitality blossomed. He graduated John Curtis Christian School in River Ridge, LA.
