Kevin Scurry

Though we could easily relay a series of facts of an individual's life, we

treasure this opportunity to share with you a birth and a journey that

changed our lives forever - Kevin's Story.

Leroy and Eddie B. Scurry became the proud parents

of a baby boy on March 22, 1967. Kevin brought such

joy to his family and literally became everybody's

baby. His faith in Christ was affirmed at an early age

as he accepted Him and was baptized at St. Stephen

Baptist Church, now the Loving Word Fellowship

Church. Growing up at the church he was most

beloved, and quickly became the cherished church

baby of Sis. Gena Anderson, Sis. Margaret Felder and

Sis. Lillie Haynes. Kevin loved his church, his pastor

and the oil and would keep himself shiny all day.

Life-long friendships were a recurring theme spanning his years at Allen

Elementary, Black Middle School and the prestigious Booker T. Washington

High School, where he was a part of the Mighty Eagles football and

basketball teams, graduating in 1986. It was a motif that carried well into

his career through the aisles of Builders Square and the halls of Ben Taub

General Hospital where he earned the affectionate nickname, "Bubba".

Pursuing his passion, he transitioned to truck driving after a 1 O-year hospital

I

career, paving the way for him to follow in his father's footsteps. He honed

his skills at the Houston Community College Truck Driving School and

fulfilled his driving dreams for over a decade.

To know him was to understand that he would always lend a helping hand,

blessing others with every opportunity. His heart was a home for both his

family and community - as well as his favorite team, "Dem Boyz" - because

he was forever a fan of the Dallas Cowboys.

Beyond words, Kevin's caring resonated in his actions. Nearing the

homegoing of his own mother, he promised that the next chapter of his

aunt's life would be one in which he would care for her with the utmost

concern. Their lives were intertwined with love and laughter as he fulfilled

his commitment with his whole heart.

Today, his journey is remembered and will continue to be retold by Tyressia,

Kiera, Rashad, Raegan, Alfretta, Larry, Auntie Mildred and Aunt Pam. His life

will be celebrated by his close cousins, extended family and friends as all

will continue to hear and tell of the details of each chapter in his amazing

journey.

His story will touch us all for a lifetime.

We will miss you, Bubba.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no

evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4
