He is also remembered by his 10 nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.

Kevin was a man who truly loved life and enjoyed making the most of every moment. He had a passion for traveling and exploring new places, always embracing new adventures and the memories made along the way. Whether enjoying live music, cheering on his favorite sports teams, visiting local breweries, or simply spending time with family and friends, he was happiest when surrounded by the people he loved.
Above all, he was a caring and generous person who was always the first to offer a helping hand to those in need. He never hesitated to be there for the people he cared about, and those who knew him could always count on him. His kindness, loyalty, and willingness to help others were a true reflection of his character. The best person, friend, husband and father you could ever ask for and beyond.
Kevin’s big personality, generous heart, and incredible sense of humor will be missed deeply by those who were lucky enough to call him a loved one and friend.
