Kevin was born on Aug. 14, 1967, in Kansas City, MO. Kevin graduated in 1985 from Excelsior Springs High School and was a member of the United Methodist Church. As the baby of five boys, Kevin was the one who tested the limits. He was passionate about his family and was always the protector of his twin brother, Keith. 

Kevin sold boats at the Lake of the Ozarks for the past ten years and loved every second of it. His lakeside condo was always open to visitors. Kevin enjoyed making memories with his family. Any spare moment he had you would find him outside and he was happy to bring you along. Kevin knew no strangers and everyone was a friend. Besides his family, he most loved fishing and had the photos to back up all the fishing tales. Kevin loved his people and was known as the life of every party because he wanted to ensure everyone had a great time. Kevin loved taking long vacations and was an avid Chiefs fan.
