I will never forget Kevin.  He brought much happiness, joy and laughter to our family.   He had a sincere love for his family and friends.  He made a chair lift for my chair to make it easier for me to get up and down, and I'm still using it every day.    So many things remind me of Kevin that are near and dear to my heart.    Thanks for the memories💕

Keve was my big, older cousin. (His Dad, Pete, was my Momma’s brother.) We all  ran and played together in Arkansas since birth. My big treat each week was to ride the school bus home w/ Keve and Carman and walk up hill to their home after a piano lesson. Or often Uncle Pete would stop and get me after work. I couldn’t wait to get there to play with “Pete’s Kids.” We made up our own games - mostly hide and seek, cops and robbers or chased and put  little brother, Mont (the fox), in a box. Toted around baby Gerald too.  Chased cats and kittens. “Helped” feed farm animals. And learned to drink coffee with lots of sugar and real cream. They always wore me out! We were young kid cousins; close as siblings. Distance and years have separated us, but the memories of our fun as kids will always be in my heart. Love and prayers to family and friends. 

when I was 16 Uncle Kevin let me drive his pickup truck to get my license. Because he had an automatic transmission. I remember trying to parallel park with the Texas state trooper sitting next to me. When I parked the truck the Trooper looked at me and said are you going to leave this nice pickup half way in the street. I was honored that he let me drive his truck but he never let me drive it again. Everyone knows how he was about his truck. I got in a fight one night and came out on the loosing end, Uncle Kevin seen me the next day and started to laugh. He said you didn’t throw the first punch did you? I told him no I was taught not to throw the first punch. He laughed at me for a moment and then gave me probably the best advice I ever got, if the fight is already on in your mind you better throw the first punch. I’ve lived by this my whole life. There are so many memories I have with Uncle Kevin through years I could sit here all night and write about them. Uncle Kevin thank you for everything, I love you and will dearly miss you.
