Kevin was a kind-hearted, hardworking and giving man. He was always a good provider for his wife and children and was Mr. Fix It for everything. He was proud of his children and it made him happy to give them the life they deserved. His hobbies were his family; spoiling his wife, watching Kayla cheer at competitions, playing baseball with Preston, and Jace being his right hand buddy fixing everything with his daddy. Kevin would do anything for anyone at any time of the day and loved to be a smart aleck with a big grin and a twinkle in his eye! Kevin would give anyone the shirt off his back - as long as it wasn't his Saints jersey. He had the heart of a servant by serving his country, family and friends selflessly. Kevin will be greatly missed and no one will be able to replace him.
